[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1585742, member: 410240"] High Triglyceridesis a common sign of too much fructose, table sugar, alcohol, and/or other carbs. High Triglyceridesoften results in increased fat in the Liver, increased Liver fat results in yet higher Triglycerides! Mosley Blood Sugar Diet will be removing the fat from your Liver. (The tests/scans the NHS use for Liver Fat will only detect the fat when it is at a VERY high level, you can still have lots of liver fat without it showing up on the standard tests/scans.) When your GP says you are not over weight, ignore her/he, BMI is meaningless. The size of your belly tells the truth. It’s the fat inside and round your organs that have the most effect; the size of your belly tells you more about this then your weight. The drugs your GP have put you on are sensible given your test results, that level of Triglycerides is clearly a high risk, hence the satins make sense. Metformin has been shown to have great long term benefit, with few down sides unless you get the side effects – [B]therefore I am likely to take it for life regardless of how good my BG gets[/B]. Once you have proved your can control your Triglycerides with diet and/or if you get side effects from satins, it may be sensible to think about stopping the satins. Another book to look at is “The Pioppi Diet”or if you want all the details of the science “The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living”, you need to start thinking about what you will eat long term, as "The body sugger diet" is a short term diet. Your GP is thinking it is [B]possible (but unlickly) [/B]that you have “slow onset Type1”rather than Type2, sensible to consider the possibility. If your BG keep going up even when you have reduced the carbs/sugar you eat/drink then you will need the tests for Type1 – hence issuing you with a BG meter. (The tests for Type1 don’t work well until it is well developed.) If your fasting BG has not come down with 3 weeks of the Blood Sugar Diet, then detailed investigation is needed. Other then diet, “resistance training”can greatly help, for example [URL]https://www.drchatterjee.com/blog/5min-kitchen-workout.cfm[/URL] and/or using the weight machines at the gym. Personally I think your liver/Hba1/lipids tests should be repeated after 8 weeks (or even 6 weeks) as the Mosley Blood Sugar Diet should result in quick changes in results. [/QUOTE]
