Michael Mosley - who is best known for his fat-shedding diets - changed his life around after he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and early signs of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).First diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2012, the TV doctor had visited his GP for a skin complaint and received a blood test, later confirming that he had developed diabetes.
Speaking to Health, Fitness and Education previously, he said: "[The Doctor] contacted me later to say my blood sugar was high.
We had some repeat tests and she broke the news that I have type 2 diabetes and I had to start on medication."I was referred to the diabetes nurse and then we saw how the treatment went.
I wasn’t very keen because my dad had type 2 diabetes and he died from complications of diabetes at about the age I was when I was diagnosed."This made me think there must be something better than medication and that’s when I started looking into intermittent fasting.
