Two-thirds of people living with type 2 diabetes may also have fatty liver disease, according to the British Liver Trust. However, many individuals may not be aware of this dual diagnosis. Fatty liver disease significantly heightens the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, emphasising the need for early detection and effective management of both conditions.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) estimates that by 2025, over 5 million people in the UK will be diagnosed with diabetes. This alarming trend could lead to a surge in newly diagnosed cases of fatty liver disease.
