Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Grateful" data-source="post: 1618767" data-attributes="member: 438800">A member of my family developed diabetes about 10 years ago. He was on a trip to Egypt and caught hepatitis (not sure what kind of hepatitis -- edited to add: I now think it was hepatitis A). After he got back to the UK, the doctors told him he had developed diabetes because the hepatitis damaged his pancreas. As far as I can tell, the therapy he has is the same as for Type 2 (he is taking diabetes drugs, and trying to ward off ever being on insulin). He is in his early 50s.I was just curious as to whether anyone here has diabetes caused by hepatitis, or has heard of such a thing?Thanks!</blockquote>
