@mcgrawwv, welcome. I updated the title of your discussion and added it to the Digestive Health support group as well so that you can connect with other members living with cirrhosis and managing a healthy diet like @alexandern @jamesduaiswamy @germangal @kristinanicole2002 @alfonso22 @puddy68 @parrot53 and others.

I found this recent study:
- A Low Daily Intake of Simple Sugars in the Diet Is Associated with Improved Liver Function in Cirrhotic Liver Transplant Candidates https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10097197/

And this about Managing hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar) and diabetes for people living with a liver condition: https://britishlivertrust.org.uk/information-and-support/living-with-a-liver-condition/diet-and-liver-disease/cirrhosis-and-diet/#high%20blood%20sugar

Like you, I didn't find an exact quantity, but less is better. A general recommended daily sugar intake is to limit added sugars to less than 10% of your total daily calories.

@mcgrawwv, are you managing cirrhosis through lifestyle? Is transplant being considered?

It just happened, so I'm overhauling all my food choices, we have not yet had the consultation for transplant, as of now my MELD is pretty low, im trying to keep it there.
