If your blood sugar and lipid levels are normal , then the condition is not too bad. Also , your liver blood tests especially enzyme levels , if high that may be more serious. In most cases fatty liver could be reversed with a low fat diet, staying away from anything that can damage the liver such as alcohol and drugs including over the counter or prescription drugs. I would recommend that you start taking Vit-E 800 i.u. daily and Vit-C 1000 mg. daily. High protein diet , fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts are all good to improve liver. Hope you can discuss these with your doctor and take appropriate action. I wish you well.
