Only me being nosey again but along with diabetes my blood tests have shown a likely fatty liver (awaiting scan) and very high cholesterol. I was wondering if this is normal to have more than one problem when you discover you have diabetes.
I've been frightening myself reading up about Non Alcoholic fatty liver. I researched and saw that milk thistle has been helpful with some people in getting the numbers down. So I have ordered some from Holland and Barrett, it says the most effective dose in the study was 420 a day split up over the course of the day. I am going to have to have 4 of these capsules to cover that amount.
Cholesterol - I am eating almonds as apparently the vitamin E helps with this and also the liver.
The doctor seemed suprised that I hadnt got any kidney issues but to be honest I havent been thirsty or drunk more so thats probably why (although I do crave ice lollies 🙂 )
