HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Diabetes can be inherited and if both of your parents were diabetic there was an increased chance of you also becoming a diabetic.
DIabetes can increase the risk of infections and also slow down healing especially if the blood sugars are not controlled.
Liver disease can be due to different causes, in diabetics, non alcoholic fatty liver is a common cause. This is the build up of fat in the liver due to diet and inadequate activity. This fat build up can progress to inflammation and damage to the liver.
Treatment involves (1)lifestyle changes to control the blood sugars and other risk factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol
(2)proper use of diabetic and other medications
I hope this helps
