Hello !
I am 62 years old, overweight (110 kgs / 1.90 m) and I take treatment for diabetes since 2012 (but for hypercholesterolaemia since 1995 and for hypertension since 2005).
My main problem with diabetes is the fasting glucose (150 average), the postprandial glucose is normal (120 average) and my last HbA1c is 6.65 (it was before even 5.5).
I decided to write on this forum because of my latest test (FIBROMAX test), which gave me a serious WARNING: I have a severe hepatic steatosis. The results are (range scores between 0-1):
- Fibro Test (evaluates liver fibrosis) - score 0.07 (F0) - no fibrosis
- Acti Test (evaluates activity - inflammation of the liver caused by virus) - score 0.07 (A0) - no activity
- Steato Test (evaluates the accumulation of fat in the liver caused by abnormal metabolism - cholesterol, triglycerides, diabetes, overweight) - score 0.76 (S3) - severe steatosis (> 0.32)
- Nash Test (evaluates the inflammation for metabolic diseases: diabetes, overweight, cholesterol, triglycerides) - score 0.50 (NI) possible inflammation
- Ash Test (evaluates inflammation caused by excess alcohol) - score 0.01 (H0) - no alcoholic inflammation.
Regarding diabetes, I am very interested for the low carb diet but this doesn't work with the steatosis (fat foods good in low carb diet are not good at all in fat liver).
So, WHAT TO DO ?!
I want to manage diabetes and fat liver in the same time, but I don't know how.
Therefore, I will be grateful for any advise or/and experience of other people in a similar situation.
Good health for all !
