If you live with type 2 diabetes, your liver health deserves attention. We focus on the diabetes-liver connection that routine diabetes care often misses, with comprehensive screening and same-day results.

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 MASH
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.

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."
