Meds are anti-depressant and a blood pressure pill.....don't know if either is a factor, don't take tylonel. So will find out more tomorrow, will ask a ton of questions now that it has all soaked in. I am not diabetic. Am having gall bladder problems though, wondered if that could contribute.
Oh, harleygirl - I didn't mean to imply that! I'm sorry if you were offended.
The disease certainly occurs in people who are not overweight, it is simply a predisposing factor.
Current estimates put the incidence of NAFLD at about 30% of the U.S. population - so it happens to a lot of people. It just isn't yet clear why.
Best of luck to you.
Take care.
