Okay -- I have a lot of confusion about that paragraph. How are you sure that after a lunch with bread it's the liver dumping at 4hours and not just latent 'slow burn' from the bread? I have latent slow burn if I eat 'any' bread -even whole grain. Even if after 2 hours things are down they can go back up. Take out the bread and things go down at 2hours and stay down. How are you 'sure' it's the liver dump? Would the same thing happen 'without' the bread?

I hope I am not just jumping the gun here. But I think this is going to work for me. After I am tested for type in december I am going to attempt to go off the insulin and stick to my super strict diet and maybe take met. We will see.

My goodness that paragraph is filled with a 'lot of sudden changes'. I think you mean -- that if your testing comes back and you're not now a 1.5 (compromised pancreas or LADA) then you'll go off insulin. Right? And would you still, if re-confirmed as a T2, stay on Lantus? Metformin, of course, would help keep the liver from dumping. Are you 'not' on any Met now? If not, as a dx'ed T2 -- why not? Or why wouldn't you be on some 'liver inhibiting glucose' med? That could explain your 'major liver dumping issue'.
