I started almost a year ago with this diagnosis, unfortunately. I had biopsies in February to confirm cirrhosis.

Collagen, and Actos. Was hoping for lower number, but progress is progress! Down to NASH 3 and 33% of my liver. Not sure what the numbers on the right mean?? I weigh 125 now, not sure I could lose anymore??

Updates/Questions

I have taken a low dose Actos for the last 6 months and am anxious to see if my Nash score comes down. My doctor mentioned a new diabetic drug that is out that is supposed to work better on fatty liver than the Actos, but I can’t remember what it was.

Improvements from F4 to F3!!! Success story (well kind of😉)

BUT… my doctor added Actos to my list. (Definitely not saying this is the reason), but I went to Columbus Monday to join a trial and my new scan put me at 10.5 and 260 - so finally lowered me to an F3! Although I have cirrhosis, my 260 number was too low to qualify.

Help please - confused

My doctor just put me on actos, even though my sugar levels are normal. I had been on 1000 mg of metformin daily and it apparently is bad for this. Supposedly the actos is good for fatty liver?

Will Doctors Prescribe Pioglitazone (Actos)For NASH

I having no luck getting any physician to prescribe Actos for NASH and wondering the response others have received. I keep getting that Actos really isn’t prescribe anymore, too risky, or they just don’t believe in providing any medicines for NASH.

Cirrhosis makes me sleep all day & night -- any remedies?

I take a number of drugs for my cirrhosis, including diabetic drugs such as metformin, Victoza, and Actos. I take a little bit of nadalol (20mg/day) to keep my varices small. I recently had a series of iron infusions.

Need a Opinion

Now I am taking all except Actos ( due to its warning side effects) . Is it safe to get into insulin rather than taking all this tablets to reduce my HBA1c adverse condition.

FBS not under control.

I cut off 2MG AMARYL, 30 MG ACTOS from my night medicine. My FBS gradually kept increasing and now in the range of 170-180. My random checks are fine ( between 110- 140). Feeling very sad and perhaps I have to start my meds again along with lchf. Any good suggestion to control FBS?

Hai all One Doctor advised that ACTOS is very important for diabettic patient and prescribed it. I consumed it for 2 years. When I shifted from Dubai to Abu dhabi the Abu Dhabi Doctor prescribed it for the first 3-4 months. Then he stopped to prescribe.
