Fatty liver disease has become one of the most common medical reasons for liver transplants and is closely related to diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes.
What’s unique about the relationship between fatty liver and type 2 diabetes is that both conditions influence each other. They can be both a cause and a consequence. This means that individuals with a fatty liver have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes, in turn, promotes the development or progression of fatty liver.
