Liothyronin T3 and insulin resistance
I’ve been doing some research as my blood sugar levels (measured by HbA1C) have been persistently high despite exercise, low carb diet, weight loss and muscle gain. Prompted by the very wise SlowDragon that T3 can cause high sugars, I decided to delve deeper. I came across a lot of articles online

Visit to endocrinologist and Prednisone at wee hours.
I visit my, very helpful, endocrinologist every three months. Yesterday we were discussing my medication and I was telling her that I was taking prednisone at around 2-4 am in the morning -when I got up . She asked me why take it at night? Well, I had a garbled expression as to how we think about

Neurologist update and gaviscon
Just a quick update. I met with the private neurologist and she was very perplexed. She did a very thorough physical examination and said I was neurologically normal- meaning no loss of balance, sensations, numbness, etc. She said the symptoms I have are similar to small fiber neuropathy but the examination

Low Carb Plant Based Help!
I'm trying sooo hard to go plant based, but struggle getting full without chicken, turkey or fish (no red meat!). Every vegetarian recipe I find has lot of carbs, and as a diabetic, they all immediately raise my blood sugar (yes, even whole grains). I'd like to find about a dozen meals I can just cycle

Elevated Gamma-GT and gallbladder stone
I posted a while back about how my GGT value was increasing over time and with every repeat blood test it was elevated further. All other enzyme values in normal range, I had an ultrasound this week and it showed one gallbladder stone. I have no symptoms of gallbladder issues - no abdominal pain etc

Prof Tim Noakes and low carb diet benefits
I hope it's ok to attach a link to this Q&A session - it's clarified a lot for me and low carb is how I reduced my blood sugar when I was in the pre-diabetic range. He also explains that diabetes is a more serious disease than people believe. I found it very interesting. https://www.facebook.com/thenoakesfoundation

Cirrhosis and gallstones
Hi Everyone. I have yet another question [sorry!] I have cirrhosis, and gallstones were picked up in my last Cat Scan. Just wondering if gallstones can increase liver enzymes in blood tests? Thank you!
