- People, who do not stick by you in good times and bad.
Hi, I am 48 year old male i have just been told I'm diabetic. It was a bit of a shock to the system.
I was given a sheet of paper and told to stick to a diet. I had a lot of symptoms like toilet every 2 minutes at night it was terrible, my skin would not heal fast, my vision was blurry and i was feeling light headed and so tired all the time.
I'm slightly happier now that I know. I would like to know why my liver is damaged it's called non alcoholic liver disease.
I'm slightly over weight this is due to back problems I have had a couple of disks removed and they can not operate on my lower back. So it's pain management and physiotherapy this unfortunately does not let me exercise at all, but in 4 weeks I have lost 7lbs by just cutting out sugar and eating salad and fruit and brown seed bread.
The thing I want to ask is the diabetes the problem with my liver as the guy doing the scan said it looks like it started 5-6 years ago and diabetes could of been the problem. Can you have type 2 for that long?
I'm waiting on blood tests results, I do take high doses of pain killers for my left leg and back problems so, im taking it the pain killers will not be doing anygood either.
Can you tell me how the liver is damaged by diabetes and what else can I do to keep the diabetes under control I'm not sure what my blood levels are as I've been told I'm not getting a blood monitor.
As I cant exercise that much my diet is even more important so I would of thought to keep an eye on my reading I woukd be supplied a monitor.
Thanks for any response as I'm a bit in the dark at the moment.
Regards
