[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 962001, member: 21149"] Hi and welcom. Yes, yoiu can have diabetes for several years without knowing; it's a condition often without obvious symptoms. There can be many causes of liver problems and diabetes could be the cause but it usually takes many years of very high blood sugar to cause damage. I'm afraid all you can do now is keep your blood sugar under control and follow the GPs advice. The right diet will help a lot. Be aware that the typical diet advice from the NHS can often be very bad for diabetics, but with your liver problems you may have been given very specific advice. Unless the GP tells you otherwise due to your liver you should keep all carbs down and make up with proteins and fats to keep you feeling full. You may need to discuss diet in detail with the GP to sort out what is really important for you rather than, sadly, the more silly NHS advice for diabetics often provided in general. BTW, you absolutely must get a blood glucose monitor and if needed buy your own strips. The SD Codefree is often recommended on this forum as it has very low-cost strips. [/QUOTE]
