Welcome NoBudg,

MamaSebo seems to think I can come up with some magic answer yet it sounds like you have worked very hard for a month keeping solidly VLC. As she mentioned start by reading back through posts in the Diabetes forum…maybe something you read there will strike you as missing from your current routine? http://forum.lowcarber.org/forumdisplay.php?f=45

Sometime when the plan reads Keto I wonder if the concept about the diet was taken from the internet and the member is stuffing themselves with fat. But you have read Atkins and Taubes (assume that was Why We Get Fat?) which has a very good Ketogenic Diet in the back with clear instructions that dairy fats like cream, mayo, cheese, etc are limited to small amounts. Don’t Force the Fat: https://lowcarbrn.wordpress.com/201...-force-the-fat/ and a newer clip from an Adapt video with Dr. Westman. We don’t count calories but calories do count: https://www.instagram.com/p/BTVP7VNBmFH/

The exercise that is part of your daily routine is great, but there is no need to add more dance classes thinking it will result in weight loss. https://intensivedietarymanagement....gy-expenditure/ That may actually be counter-productive. Don’t forget improving sleep and reducing stress to support your efforts to reduce BG.

The diabetes forum has info about many doctors working to reverse diabetes with VLC diets, but the one with an added twist to that plan is Dr. Jason Fung. With your elevated Liver enzymes and high blood sugars, I would encourage you to learn all about the benefits of adding Intermittent Fasting to your routine. In addition to the thread started back in 2014 about him, http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=472377 the excellent DietDoctor website has many courses and presentations by him. https://www.dietdoctor.com/?s=Jason+Fung

Relevant for you is a recent article on the Fatty Pancreas: https://www.dietdoctor.com/fatty-pa...type-2-diabetes and those high liver markers indicates strong Insulin Resistance. https://www.dietdoctor.com/insulin-fatty-liver-disease Assuming everything else is fine, consider your meal timing. Try to extend the time between meals, no snacking. Give your pancreas periods of rest and reduce some of the stored energy. I have found even after doing Intermittent Fasting just naturally as part of Dr. Westman's clinic diet, Dr. Fung's protocols were very helpful in reducing my BG levels.

Hope this helps you and maybe gives you some new resources to consider.
And time...give it time. All the best,
