Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Ed's hepatic specialist at The Cleveland Clinic said his diabetes was a huge factor in his liver failure. You always here about diabetes causing kidney failure......no one says much about it causing liver failure. Love,Jill We don't remember days, we remember moments. Life is not measured by the breaths we take,but by the moments that take our breath away.

It isn't terminology friendly...you need to know about how the body metabolizes and stores fats, protein, and sugar (glucose). However, it gives you alot of information and it helps you decide whether or not you think it maybe a cause...Let me know what you think. http://journal. diabetes. org/clinicaldiab etes/v17n21999/ Pg73.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 My mom had NAFLD, diagnosed in the late '60s. She was also a diabetic (probably for the last 15 years), and based on what I've read, it certainly seems like the diabetes contributed to her moving through NASH and then to cirrhosis. > > > > From: abijann <no_reply@yahoogrou p s.com> > Subject: Is diabetes a cause of liver disease > To: livercirrhosissuppo rtyahoogroups (DOT) com > Date: Sunday, December 7, 2008, 11:57 PM > > This is a very long article on diabetes and liver disease. > It isn't terminology friendly...you need to know about how > the body metabolizes and stores fats, protein, and sugar (glucose). > > However, it gives you alot of information and it helps you > decide whether or not you think it maybe a cause...Let me know > what you think. > > http://journal. diabetes. org/clinicaldiab etes/v17n21999/ Pg73.htm > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
