Subjects must have known diabetes (either diet controlled or only on Metformin or sulfonylureas such as glyburide or glipizide).
Subjects must be 18 year or older.

Exclusion criteria

Active, serious medical disease (cardiac, renal, pulmonary, dermatologic, psychiatric illness) with likely life expectancy less 5 years.
Current or previous malignancy with expected life expectancy less than 5-years (other than basal cell cancer of the skin).
Use of drugs historically associated with NASH.
Histological evidence of malignancy, 4+ iron deposition, or any other type of liver disease.
