Type 2 diabetes may go unnoticed for years because visible symptoms are typically mild, non-existent or sporadic, and usually there are no ketoacidotic episodes. However, severe long-term complications can result from unnoticed type 2 diabetes, including renal failure due to diabetic nephropathy, vascular disease (including coronary artery disease), vision damage due to diabetic retinopathy, loss of sensation or pain due to diabetic neuropathy, and liver damage from non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

Diabetes generally doesn’t harm the liver. But undiagnosed diabetes can wreck havoc on the body if it has been going on for years. I would guess that the person you know just happened to be unlucky enough to have two nasty chronic diseases neither having to do with the other except make treatment more difficult.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend.
