"My endocrinologist never mentioned my liver. Turns out, my 'uncontrollable' diabetes was actually undiagnosed fatty liver disease making my medications useless."
- Type 2 diabetic patient, diagnosed with NAFLD after 9 years
This patient's story is far too common. If you have type 2 diabetes, you have a 70% chance of having NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) right now - and your liver could be silently sabotaging your diabetes treatment.
We specialize in the type 2 diabetes liver connection that most diabetes care overlooks. Get comprehensive diabetic liver screening and answers in 60 minutes, not 6 months of referrals.

Diabetes and liver disease are intimately connected. When your liver fails, your diabetes becomes uncontrollable. When your diabetes is poorly managed, your liver pays the price.
have fatty liver
progress to NASH
When diabetes and liver disease progress together, patients face:
Blood sugar harder to manage despite medications
Exhaustion that doesn't improve with better diabetes control
Elevated liver enzymes or unexplained inflammation
These aren't just diabetes complications - they're signs your liver is failing too.
Standard diabetes care focuses primarily on blood sugar control - we add the liver piece. Addressing both together gives you the best chance at lasting metabolic health.
of diabetics receive routine liver screening
Real stories from diabetes patients who discovered their liver was the missing piece
Age 52, Type 2 Diabetes for 8 years
"My A1C was 8.9 despite multiple medications. My care team hadn't yet identified the liver connection. ALMC found moderate fatty liver disease - the missing piece. After 3 months, my A1C is already down to 7.8 and I'm finally seeing progress."
Age 45, Pre-diabetic with family history
"I was pre-diabetic and worried about following my father's path. ALMC caught my fatty liver early and gave me a clear action plan. Three months in, my liver enzymes are normalizing and my blood sugar is trending down."
Age 38, Gestational diabetes history
"After gestational diabetes, I developed Type 2. I was exhausted all the time despite 'good' blood sugar control. ALMC discovered my liver was contributing to my fatigue. I'm 3 months into treatment and already feeling more energetic."

A detailed look at how addressing liver health transformed one patient's diabetes management
Patient: 54-year-old male, Type 2 diabetes for 12 years
Chief Complaints: Persistent fatigue, difficulty controlling blood sugar despite maximum medication doses, unexplained weight gain around midsection
Initial Lab Values:
Previous Care: Endocrinologist had tried 4 different medication combinations over 3 years with minimal improvement. Patient was being considered for insulin therapy.
Comprehensive Assessment Revealed:
Key Insight:
The fatty liver was causing severe insulin resistance, making diabetes medications ineffective. Without addressing the liver, diabetes control was impossible.
Intervention Plan:
6-Month Results:
12-Month Follow-up:
"I spent 12 years fighting diabetes with medications alone. In 6 months of addressing my liver, I achieved what I couldn't in over a decade. My care team was thrilled with the results."
