[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2062322, member: 400972"] Hi Jessie, congratulations on your weight loss so far and your determination to lose more. I can only tell you what I’ve done to achieve non diabetic blood sugars and HbA1cs plus 6 1/2 stone weight loss. I was diagnosed Type 2 in May ‘17 and immediately went on a low carb diet, I started initially with keeping under 100g carbs/day and gradually over 8-10 weeks reduced to 30-50g/day. That’s the level I have maintained since. I lost 5 stone in the first year and the rest over the second year. I have gone from morbidly obese to just over the ‘healthy’ zone. I do take Metformin as well which helps with the weight loss which was proven last autumn when I lowered the dose with my GP’s blessing and my weight loss stalled. I put the dose back up and weight is now going down again albeit very slowly now. I favour the low carb approach as I don’t feel hungry and miserable on it as I have done on different diets in the past. Many members here have lost weight on low carb diet alone. In answer to your question my liver function tests were abnormal at diagnosis indicating fat around my internal organs, that would include my pancreas. My liver function tests are now normal indicating my visceral fat has reduced (infact my visceral fat measures as normal on my hubby’s all singing all dancing Tanita scales) and therefore my liver and pancreas must be working more efficiently [/QUOTE]
