I have been a type 2 diabetic for 5 years now. I am also overweight and have been working on trying to lose more than my normal 10 lbs fluctuations. I am seeing a specialist for this now... I was diagnosed with NALD a few weeks ago and I
Am being treated metabolically for now with diet, exercise and meds. Honestly I am very scared. I do not drink alcohol so I am not sure if this is heritory or not. I will definitely welcome any input, recipes things that may be working for others
I have non acholic liver disease. The doctors have me onn meds for both cholesterol and triglycerides. Here is some of the reasons you may develop it. I took this from the Mayo Clinic website.
NAFLD and NASH are both linked to the following:
Overweight or obesity
Insulin resistance, in which your cells don't take up sugar in response to the hormone insulin
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia), indicating prediabetes or type 2 diabetes
High levels of fats, particularly triglycerides, in the blood
I have asked my Dr for a referral to see a nutritionist and a dietitian. I have stopped trying to convince myself that I can do this on my own... now that I have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease and unable to lose weight on my own I realized that this is something that I can't just dive in and blindly succeed at. This is an entire lifestyle change for me and I need some guidance
I was scared when told I was close to being diabetic. It took a while but I've since found out info about it, and what I can do to help it, and that helps take away the fear. I was also told years ago that I had fatty liver, without having liver disease (yet). For me, I am focusing on losing weight and if necessary, will consider weight loss surgery as a last resort. Otherwise, being obese just has too many bad side effects, I think. Good luck, a lot of people here have lost weight, it may take trying different things and finding what works for you.
Yes Ma'am it is non alcoholic liver disease
It may be non-alcoholic liver disease.
