The relationship between hepatitis C virus infection and diabetes: Time for a divorce?

The relationship between hepatitis C virus infection and diabetes: Time for a divorce?

Fall is in the air which just so happens to be my favorite season, how about you?

As the leaves change my life will be changing as well. Over the next few weeks I'm packing up and moving into a loft. The family has started calling me a hipster, bummer. They have no idea maybe in the day a hippie, but never a hipster.

In preparation of the big move, Jefferson Airplane, Bob Dylan, Joe Welch, Steve Miller, Santana, and the Moody Blues are stored and ready to play over my sweet wireless speakers. Soon this hippie baby boomer (HBB), will be crashing in a loft, a small loft.

Anyway, for your reading pleasure, NATAP recently posted a neat article, followed by an editorial investigating the association between HCV and diabetes; The relationship between hepatitis C virus infection and diabetes: Time for a divorce? published in the October issue of Hepatology.

The authors write;

In this issue of Hepatology, Ruhl et al.[11] revisit the association between HCV infection and diabetes in 15,128 adults. This study has several strengths that, combined, provide a fresh look at the topic and support to consider an "amicable divorce" to this relationship.

Peace Out
