Exposure to toxic chemical vapors can lead to molecular destruction/abnormality.  The C-Peptide test is a start but should include an insulin level test help determine how much insulin a person's pancreas is still producing. Also recommend having the Thyroid and Immune System thoroughly checked as these play an important role with insulin production. Controlling glucose levels may reduce the severity of fatty liver in patients with diabetes. Lastly, pay close attention to the side effects of medications taken. Google search drug interactions. Good luck.

Whatever the cause of high blood sugars, they must be treated to reduce those numbers ASAP as the results of consistently extreme blood sugars are very serious. I recommend he see an endocrinologist and get a c-peptide and antibody test. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder and has nothing to do with how you eat or drink. Bottom line is he needs immediate help in controlling his blood sugars.

thanks for posting,

No one in his family have diabetus or fatty liver most have never had helth problems.
I dont drink either and my liver was three times higher with ALTs ect. Again must be down to the toxicity we were exposed to. I have raynauds,and lichen planus now through out my body.

thanks carole

Thanks for posting Yes these are sugar readings and Yes have been to diabetus clinic and they say he has no other symtoms of D2 and cannot understand why his sugarsa are so high. He does not drink or eat junk food we grow all our own veg and eat organic produce. We were exposed to kerosenenvapours and combustion fumes so that must have messed with our bloods.The flue like symtoms come and go.

Yes, it is quite possible if your husbands fatty liver [FLD] was caused by alcohol abuse, poor nutrition, obesity, or Hepatitis. There is nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or commonly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver [NAFLD]. Most people who develop NAFLD have an insulin resistance.

I'm a little confused, tarter. When you say your husband has "high readings 16-25 but no signs of diabetes", are those blood sugar readings? If so 16-25 (288-450 U.S.) ARE diabetic readings and the 25 especially is dangerously high. The fatigue and weight loss could very much be symptoms of diabetes. He should get checked with an A1C (an average of blood sugars for the last couple months). He should also have his Type clarified as weight loss often comes with Type 1 (or LADA, a slow onset type 1) not Type 2. If he becomes ill with flu-like symptoms and vomiting he needs to go to the ER.

If the numbers were not blood sugar readings, ignore this advice!
