Hello all again!

How are you all doing?

I’ve just had my middle of treatment exams and I’m happy to report I’m undetectable. That’s awesome. My AST and ALT levels went from 39 and 60 to 18 on both. This is amazing. I know it’s common on treatment but it still impresses me. Low levels like that means that my liver is not inflamed anymore? I have steatosis and I was wondering if levels like these can rule out that the fat is affecting my liver inflammation. I heard of cases with people that were treated from hep c that the liver enzymes were still high because of fat liver. I’m getting rid of the fat but it would be nice to know that my liver can have a deserved rest while I do my job.

But not all were good news. My fasting blood sugar level increase from 94 (range is 99) to 108 which means that now I’m pre-diabetic from what I understand.

Also, my insulin resistance level went through the roof. Max value is 25 and I’m 65. Before treatment I was 39.

I understand that I’m obese and high values are expected, but I’ve lost weight after I’ve started the treatment with Viekira Pak and Ribavirine. So I was expecting at least to get the same levels.

My concern is that I’ve read somewhere here at the forum that some people got diabetic after treatment for some reason and they were obese like I am before starting treatment.

Does anyone know if the medication increase sugar levels? Can I become diabetic?

Also, my ALP levels that used to be 60 (max value 120) is now 130. Should I be worried? Can this be due to medication? I just hope I’m not cirrhotic or anything like that.

Thanks!
