I too am a horrible speller for no other reason then I am a horrible speller. I too also have type two diabetiese and hep c. I treated for hep c for 30 weeks but in the end was a non responder. As far as the diabetes during treatment I had no praticualar issues. Just did what I always did/do take my meds and try to watch what I eat. I will say there was period while treating that I craved sweets and gave in more then I should have.

What drives me nuts is that it seems to me that my diabetes is caused by having hep c and was hopping that if I knocked the dragon out of me the diabetes would follow. Alas no such luck.

[nitramog]

thay wont let me treat in till i give them 90 days! of good blood sugar, i eat pritty helthy its just hard to controal sugars wen liver flaers up, is filex the cat out there i need a bag of trix,,,time dog my diabetes did kick in wen my liver started giving me problims 6 years ago. just my luck my new liver will come from a crossing gard ill be out on the streat throwing hand signals !and not nowing wy

[GrandmaA]

That's pretty funny about the crossing guard liver and hand signals. Maybe you will get a liver from a motorcyclist and want to join the hell's angels.

Since you're on week 40, hopefully you'll be done soon. When you are done with tx, you'll still need to follow up with your blood sugar and see an endocrinologist - if you have one.  You probably have an artifically low A1C right now.  Basically, the riba kills off red blood cells early in their life, before they have a chance to grow old and have a lot of glucose attach to them.  When tx is over and you put the riba away, your rbc's should return to longer lifecycles.  Living a longer life, these rbc's will once again be able to 'pack on' the glucose and your A1C might go back to where it came from.  If you see an endo, or whoever watches your BS, have a conversation about expectations post - tx.  In my first tx I mistakingly drew a correlation with achieving tx undetecatbility and the resolution of diabetes. In the end, it was the riba and post-tx the blood sugar issues returned - although not to the extent pre tx.  It's something you should keep an eye on.

What a story! I can't imagine waking up in a helicopter like that! Is the glucose getting better? Another bay area guy. Where do you live?

Don't worry about telling your story here. Lot's of things can be learned from what you have to say. Your spelling may not be good, but your thoughtful answers are. Many of us want to hear stories like yours. I know it's not a fun one and we all have them. Sharing experience, strength and hope is what is a good thing around here.

Thanks for info. I try to keep my eye on BS as much as I can.They wouldnt even start tx until BS was down. Before tx it was about 220 avg. Thanks

[sfbaygirl]

That had to be quite a trip. My friend was rescued from a ship in the middle of the ocean when he caught on fire. Stuff tv is made from.

Clear Lake is a place I havent' been to. My old neighbor used to have a place there and loved it. Ukiah is really nice too.

How soon do they expect you to be able to treat? Are you looking for a transplant? That was funny about the patrol guy waving traffic. I guess your arms would just naturally lift, even when you wouldn't want them to. Funny!

[nitramog]
