To get rid of it i stopped eating carbs and protein!!! Bloody hard to do (excuse the language) but, once done it i could eat protein and some carbs again without too much problem, i got down to 3.2 a couple of times but never went lower than that. It is hard though...

It takes time for the liver to get rid of all its stored "energy" once it has gone you will get lower dumps to keep a steady bgl... stay strong! That is a long time but it does take a while depending on how much of a store you have!

If you're eating carbs in none fasting times then you are still feeding your liver. No carb/low carb and fasting if your aim is to do a liver tonic. (Lower fasting blood glucose level).
Most people do no carb/low carb first to get lower fbgs. IF is to help lose weight mainly.
I hope that helps. @Debmcgee
 
@wylie27 welcome.
Do you eat low carb during the day? Ive seen success in others and myself on at least 6 weeks of low carb eating with a protein snack (small) before bed.
The low carb diet is a long term plan but is needed to detox your liver. Carbs cause raised bgs, at anytime. Accumulative carb eating causes raised fbgs.
I hope this helps. Endos wouldnt advocate low carb eating just more meds. Even dieticians oppose. Don't go too low carb but lower than you are now. V
