Hello, I am a 33 yr. old woman who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 15. I have been poorly controlled throughout , but am in pretty good health, no kidney or eye disease. My HA1C IS 9.5, however. My mother was just recently diagnosed with Hepatitis and liver cirrosis (cirrhosis). She at first was being given pega..interferon? , she has low platelets
, when she couldnt even remember my stepfather, became combative andfell when she attempted to walk, due to a wobbly gait. Well, the medicine was causing her blood count to become too low, and they discontinued it. She will not tell me very much except that the dr. mentioned trying to get her on a donor list. Does this mean she is goin to die? and can I donate a peice of my liver to help her, and if I did would I be in worse health, I have 4 children to look after. And would it even make a difference if they havent cured the hepatitis cant she just destroy the new liver.
