bitsi,
yes, gluc can alter liver function. there's an herb called milk thistle that may be able to restore normal liver function. do a search in the alt. remedy board for a thread started by mickin. i believe she had lactic acidosis caused by met. she talked about the herb normalizing her liver function.
also, if you can't take gluc, you may want to ask your dr. about other insulin sensitizing meds. good luck.
