what causes an enlarged and fatty liver?

I have severe diabetes, had 2 heart attacks last yr, I’m 40. my liver is “fatty” and enlarged. I am overweight, but was under or at normal weight level clear up until the dr removed the gallbladder, then i quit smoking and gained about 45 lbs since. the gallbladder i found out later did not need to be removed. i can eat a salad or drink a glass of tea or even coffee and all of a sudden my stomach is so bloated and hard as concrete. i was doing cardio and wt training as well as pilates and water aerobics…5 days a wk usually 4-5 hrs a day, and still could not lose an ounce of wt. what gives? i had blood work done last wk and was told today that my chol is 470 and trigyceride level is 790. she said everything is wayyy tooooo high. but im sure it is all related to the diabetes, heart condition (r coronary artery is clogged and too small for a stint) and fatty/enlarged liver. this scares me. thanks for your help.

Baba Ramdev -Yoga for Diabetes (Madhumeh Ke Liye)

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death in the world and afflicts the young and the old alike. Diabetes means that the body does not produce or use insulin properly. Genetic factors, obesity, stress and a sedentary lifestyle are some of the causes of this disease.

how can i get my family to start excersizing and eating healthy?

I am a 16 year old vegan and have been since i was 8. i excersize often. my family is at super high risk of diabetes (my grandpas on both sides had it, my grandma and uncle have it) my family eats nothing but crap! my dad looks like he is going to keel over and have a heart attack everytime he moves. im not saying i want them to become vegans like i am, but i think their eating habbits definatly need to change. our fridge and pantries are full with poptarts, chips, candy, whole milk, but the thing is if they arent eating that they are eating taco bell, in and out, but tonight it was pizza.
i try to encourage them to atleast eat subway, or atleast buy whole wheat pasta… little things. but they refuse. i ask them to do pilates or yoga or jog or wlak with me but they say later.
what do i do? i tell them i dont want them to get sick. what procedures should i take to help them become more healthy?
i mean they dont have to become health freaks and start chomping on tofu… but i dont want my dad to have a hearft attakc. and my brother is chubby and going into 7th grade… and i dont want him to be made fun of!!
they arent inshape so what would be a good excversize plan to start them with? how do i get them to do it? just give me help!!!
