Abstract. non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is highly prevalent in type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm), likely reflecting the frequent occurrence of obesity and insulin resistance in t2dm. metformin is the most commonly prescribed first line oral agent in t2dm.. Nevertheless, since type 2 diabetes and weight problems are so common in the united states, fatty liver disease is now a leading cause of end-stage (fatal) liver disease requiring a liver transplant, along with alcohol abuse and hepatitis.. The connection between type 2 diabetes and fatty liver. due to insulin resistance, people with type 2 diabetes are at a higher risk of developing nafld. changes in hormones such as insulin, along with the presence of insulin resistance, affect enzymes in your body, and this causes an increase in free fatty acids, which can flow into the liver..
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease—nafld, for short—is the most common chronic liver disease in america. because of the liver’s central role in so many body processes, fat in the liver can have a ripple effect, increasing the risks of developing both cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.. Diabetes raises your risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition in which excess fat builds up in your liver even if you drink little or no alcohol. this condition occurs in at least half of those with type 2 diabetes.. During the follow-up period, less than 1% of those without fatty liver developed type 2 diabetes compared with 4% of those with fatty liver..
A new treatment for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes is being developed for clinical trial in sweden. researchers in sweden are planning the clinical trial of a new treatment for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes which harnesses liver cells’ own ability to burn accumulated fats.. The prevalence of nafld has increased in parallel with the epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes, which are risk factors for nafld.3,6 whereas the association of type 2 diabetes with microvascular complications and macrovascular disease is well established, the association of type 2 diabetes with nafld is more recently recognised and probably less well-known to physicians.. In type 1, where the body doesn’t make any insulin, the liver can burn through fat, resulting in diabetic ketoacidosis , a life-threatening condition.4 however, in people with type 2 diabetes, where the body can’t employ the insulin it produces, insulin resistance can cause fatty acid molecules in the blood to increase..
