[QUOTE="notned, post: 974894, member: 89583"] I was on insulin when they woke me from a 5 week induced coma to get rid of double pneumonia. As 'ukwombat' said above - it was what was needed and the alternatives didn't sound too appealing. The first year (2013) I think I was in denial. In January 2014 a scan showed that I had cirrhosis - even though the scans they'd done during my coma were AOK. In April 2014 I got mad with it and implemented a low carb (<150g) diet. In September '14 I started a food blog, seriously counting carbs. Since then I've lost 10 kilos, got rid of insulin and brought my liver blood figures back to normal. Actually I have gained about half a kilo over this summer - thanks to inordinate time spent at my desk moving my late wife's estate through probate. The little prick from the insulin injection never bothered me at all - most times I never felt it. On the other hand I hate the finger pricks - which I'm still doing. Didn't I read that someone is developing a test patch? Bring it on! [/QUOTE]
