As i said in my post i have been a Type 1 for 20 years. For the most part things have been good. I have had my ups and downs but overall good….I have had regular blood testing to check my A1c and Liver and Kidneys and everything has been good…
But this past summer my Liver numbers for whatever reason were spiked…So they checked my gallbladder thinking i had gallstones and it came back clear….So thankfully my endo decided it was something to worry about and asked if we could do a biopsy on my liver just to be safe…So we did and it came back that i had Cirrhosis of the Liver. She wouldn’t tell me how damaged my liver was but demanded i go see a Gastroenterologist…So i went and she sent me for bloodwork to check for other Auto Immune disorders to see if that is what causes such quick liver damage….I am waiting for the results and i go back in a week to see her but i was just wondering….can anyone relate to my story? Do you think it may have been the years of insulin useage that damaged my kidney? (for the record i don’t drink or smoke) Also i have oster arthritis in my left knee that has gotten worse in the past year and i am wondering if there is a auto immune disorder that maybe can cause this?
Anyway i was just wondering if anyone had stories to share to help ease my mind until i get my results! Thanks 🙂
