How cirrhosis of the liver causes Diabetes…?
Thinking about this, the liver can’t store carbs (glucose) because its damaged. Thats why a high carbohydrate diet is ordered usually. So since they can’t store glucose, are they hyperglycemic because its just floating there, or hypoglycemic? Thanks
Hypoglycemia, as liver cant store glucose and when a person is not eating , liver cant supply sugar . I keep some of the patients on 10% dextrose to prevent and treat hypoglycemia.
