Patient's question:
My mother is a diabetic and has been diagnosed for over three years. She is quite overweight and even though she pays close attention to her diet, she still can't lose weight. In March of this year, during her health check-up, she was found to have fatty liver disease. It is said that a significant portion of people diagnosed with fatty liver during health check-ups are diabetics.Doctor's answer:
This is because the relationship between diabetes and fatty liver disease is very close. Patients with diabetes cannot metabolize glucose and fatty acids in their bodies, leading to a recurrence of impaired lipoprotein production. As a result, the majority of glucose and fatty acids are converted into fat in the liver and accumulated, causing fatty liver disease. Fatty liver disease poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to dietary issues, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that patients with fatty liver disease can receive professional treatment.
