Message: <blockquote data-quote="MaryCanary" data-source="post: 949661" data-attributes="member: 206107">I'm also just diagnosed two weeks ago and like you, I was extremely shocked despite knowing for several years that my liver has been struggling. My numbers for the liver were much higher than yours and I have been for umpteen scans. I have a fatty liver too, and on reading around it seems that this can lead to diabetes. My numbers fell from 117 last year to 59 this year, which was the one bit of good news I received while I was getting the diabetes bombshell. Like you, I low-carbed the minute I found out about it and I too am feeling the benefit of it, only two weeks later! Already I have lost 4 kilos and i am much more energetic! A further benefit is that my liver does not seem to be hurting me the way it did before. I believe that with careful management, the liver can, if not quite repair itself, certainly reduce the fatty content. In some ways, maybe this diabetes diagnosis is the best thing that ever happened to me! I feel ready to take control of my life again!</blockquote>
