Not necessarily: They are two different disease processes. Hepatitis c is a viral infection. Diabetes is a metabolism disorder. Although there are many patients that have both of these conditions, they are not always linked.

No way: Hepatitis c does not predispose you to diabetes. The opposite isn't true either. These diseases are independent of each other. They have no relation whatsoever to each other.
