Diabetes and NAFLD

Posted By Geoje83

"Diabetes and NAFLD"

About: Inverurie Hospital Inverurie Hospital / Out Patient Clinics Peter Brunt Centre / Non- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Clinic (NFLD)

(as a service user),

I was diagnosed with types 2 Diabetes and then diagnosed with Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease ( NAFLD).

I was shocked at first but I suspected the Diabetes as I was less active and eating all the wrong foods and sugary drinks.

I  had an infection down below and red spots appear on my fingers.

I gave a blood test and my iron levels were elevated.  I had little to no energy and tired all the time. I was thirsty a lot and always urinating.  I was drinking energy drinks to try and get energy but they were just filling me with sugar and it caused the infection down below.

I have been see at both Inverurie Medical Centre and the Peter Bunt Clinic in Aberdeen.

I have received great advice and services from both .

I have  changed my lifestyle and I have had good results from this and I plan to keep going and try and get my Diabetes into remission and also get my Liver back to normal or as close to it as it can be .
