Hi. Thought I would say hello.

I have just came back from fibroscan and got early cirrhosis. I have Type 2 diabetes (diagnosed 7 weeks ago) plus sleep apnoea and am overweight. Also lots of other conditions and medication may have contributed to this. But have never drunk alcohol.

Been following low carb high fat diet and lost 23 lbs in 7 weeks.

I am too g to beat diabetes and get my liver healthy again.

You sound like me!!! How are you doing mentally? It is just a shock to hear the words cirrhosis!!! Do you have to have a liver biopsy?

The fibroscan is a fairly new thing which replaces need for biopsy.

well done on taking good responsibilty for your health. I dont know if its any good to you but i'v read and heard a lot about cinnamon and also that its helped get people with type 2 diabetes get of all the medication as it seems to regulate blood sugar. I saw a programme on television about a yound boy heading down the road of type 2 diabetes and he was putting on more and more wieght. The doctor adivsed him to eat from the rainbow diet and also to use stewed apples with cinnamon in them every day. i buy to bags or organic apples and stew them. they keep for a week in the fridge. i put them in my cereal and also some cinnamon. i will post the pic of the rainbow foods and also the cinnamon. its always good to check those things out for yourself to and do some research as i never take anyones word really and i always check things thourougly. love grace xoxoxo

just forgot to say that the reason for the apples being stewed is that the doctor said they had many more vitamins in them.i hope this is helpfull to you.

Hi I was exactly the same Nash type 2 diabetes overweight by about 4 St. I waited 7 months for a transplant. When I had this 2 yrs ago all was not straightforward but now I've lost about 2 St, and do not take any medication for the diabetes. Liver doing really well so have hope as you get better so does everything. Sure my diabetes was a complication of poor diet and beating too heavy so keep thinking fit and you'll get there .
