question: I am a 55 years male with about 8 years of diabetes. Currently on 2000 mg diabex a day and one 10mg castor. Weighing 90kg and 1.72m tall. Work extremely long hours with at least 6 hrs a day in front of the computer. Used to be more than a medium alcohol drinker but has stopped completely for more than two years. I had a sudden increase in the ALT at the recent test done three weeks ago. It jumped from 29 to 41 U/L. I am booked for a US to check liver functionality. I realise that it might be early to make a judgement. But from you experience, could you kindly advise if this is a serious problem. Also would appreciate if you could advise if is it treatable.
