A member asked:
Do you think having had hepatitis c cause pancreas to stop producing insulin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No evidence of that: Hi. All the data I've seen for type 2 diabetes in HCV have to do with liver effects of HCV on causing/contributing to insulin resistance. I've seen no data for HCV effects on beta cell function or survival.
