A client with type 2 diabetes has routine lab work, which reveals elevated free fatty acids (FFA). The client asks, Why is this significant? The most accurate response would be: Select all that apply.
 
  A) This may increase the amount of triglyceride (a form of fat) stored in your liver or around your heart.
  B) Your pancreas is affected by increased fat (lipotoxicity), which causes beta cell dysfunction, leading to the need for insulin.
  C) Excess fat in the liver causes a decrease in hepatic glucose production leading to severe hypoglycemia.
  D) Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease may lead to needing a liver transplant.
  E) Excess fatty acids may interfere with the way your body responds to an infection.
