NAFLD perhaps.. Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
That's the one! Thanks!
NAFLD perhaps.. Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
There's one that turns up sometimes. It is something like NLAP or NDLAP (sorry, I cannot find an example of it). It stumps me everytime, and I cannot find it in the sticky thread in Newly Diagnosed. Next time I find a reference to it I'll holler here, unless someone can figure it out from my cryptic reference.

I personally would like to thank you for your service to the NHS and to your patients. No need for the confession, I liked you anywayOk confession time! I used to be a nurse, I retired in 2016 after 38 years in the NHS, that’s how I know how the acronym BM came about. Even some nurses these days don’t know, they just assume it’s blood monitoring. However Diabetes was never my speciality! I feel I’ve jumped the fence since retiring with diagnoses of asthma and Diabetes. I’ve never said I was a nurse before on this forum as I didn’t want people assuming I knew what I was doing because as you can imagine all I knew was the NHS stuff! Sorry if anyone feels I’ve deceived you.

I’m a fellow sports addict, I love watching it from the sofa! I don’t even have a dog to make me go walking!You performed a magnificent service for 38 years, so congratulations from me, and congratulate yourself.
My little confession would be that I went to a specialist PE college, worked as a PE teacher, for a few years, tried every sport and physical activity under the sun, and look at me now! An armchair sports fanatic that walks her dog for exercise!!!
The French call it tout suite. right away; with all hasteThe runs is easier!![]()

They are not all angels, I just hope I was!Thank you for all you did! Now though, I may have to tone down my comments about doctors and nurses to match your demonstrated courtesy here.

Well I hope I live up to your observations, I was definitely overworked and underpaid, not always under appreciated some patients showed their gratitude, with boxes of chocolates (Oh the irony!). I do have to exercise number 6 with my father in law frequently!Characteristics of the nurses I have known here in America (socially). These have usually been the friends or partners of other medical professionals in our family.
- Kind.
- Thoughtful.
- Courteous in an old-fashioned way (they write snail-mailed thank-you letters after coming to dinner).
- Overworked.
- Patient with people who, in a social setting, ask them to give opinions on ailments (this must get "old" really fast).
- Tactful in correcting people who spout medical BS.
- Underappreciated.
- Underpaid.
