Good evening Doctors. I m an overweight male, 26 years of age with no general complaints. I ve got a family history of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and prostate and colon cancer. 1 year ago my fasting blood sugar was 80 mg/dl. I was a heavy smoker and my blood pressure started to go up to 140/90 occasionally. I quit smoking and unfortunately started eating excessive fat and sugar daily for the last year. My fasting blood sugar today was 100. Moreover an abdominal ultrasound (done due to acute prostatitis) revealed only incidental liver enlargement of size 170 mm(with no other abnormalities) which wasn t there 1 year ago. My question is if I change my diet and start exercising will my fasting blood sugar and liver size go back to normal or is it too late. Thank you so much.
Hi thanks for asking question. Mostly you could have fatty liver alcohol history present then hepatitis can be there. Complete LFT profile with viral marker done... Yes dietary control will help you in normalizing liver.... Take low fat diet. Regular exercise.Don't eat refined sugar more. Use very minimal oil in diet. Avoid trans fat diet like cheese, butter, meat, chips etc..... Fruits more. With your LFT reports further comments can be done. Regular follow up needed for colon cancer detection as you have positive family history. Take care. Chat Doctor.
