[QUOTE="Maris Piper, post: 2403521, member: 521303"] My husband and I have just been reading Prof Roy Taylor’s latest book “Your simple guide to reversing type 2 diabetes” and realised what is causing my diabetes. It’s my liver. At 75 and otherwise fit and heathy (apart from an hba1c reading of 67) I am not the weight I was when I left school ( in my day we got weighed and measured throughout secondary school) My fasting blood sugar reading is around 9 each day and in the daytime my readings go up and down and end almost at the same level they started. There are no spikes after any particular food. It’s my liver pumping out sugar because it’s full of fat. I have wanted to shift some weight for a while but on the low carb diet for two years this has not happened. I need to restrict my intake of calories. So I am going to try the 800 calories a day. I can still have my porridge for breakfast and I’ll eat the same as I was on the low carb diet but without the fat. My GP has put me on 200mg Metformin twice a day which I’m assuming will help my pancreas but I shall have to look after my liver. Thank you Professor Taylor! [/QUOTE]
