Tell me if I'm right.....

You have cirrhosis and take Lactulose to decrease the ammonia.  You're diabetic and your white cells are low.

In 2008, you said you were starting treatment January of 2009 and two years later you're saying the same thing.  So that worries me.  If you notice you sometimes get confused you need to talk to your doctor.  

Wishing you all the best,

Did I read that you're a diabetic?

If you are, then you need to work on that so you can decrease the insulin resistance with diet, exercise and possibly medications like Actos or Metformin.  Otherwise insulin resistance will lower your chances of success.

Do you have Hep A or Hep C?

Live as healthy as possible until then... eat well, exercise, no alcohol.

Do you mean perhaps January 2011?  2009 went by a long time ago!
