Hi Dr.Ron. I've been reading your articles with great interest, and really like your approach to natural health. Thank you! I have read and heard a bit about how the liver is often ignored when managing diabetes. I have controlled my diabetes through diet and exercise successfully for a year now. My doctor is very very pleased. So am I, for that matter! I used to wake up with high bg readings, and was told that basically my liver was dumping glucose into my system overnight to compensate for dropping bg levels. With a snack before bed, I now wake up with normal readings. My snack, believe it or not, is literally a single bite of a healthy protein bar, or a spoon of peanutbutter on a wheat cracker. Nothing more, and it works like a charm for me. My absolute interest in the function of the liver is definitely piqued, as you can imagine. Neither my doctor nor my diabetes educator (pardon me for not singing his praises..) seem to want to even talk about what is happening and they only focus on the pancrease. Am I completely wrong in thinking that there really is a connection between the liver and the pancreas in diabetes? I apologize for being long winded. :)
