Swedish researchers who examined 212 patients between 1988 and 1993 found that 78 percent of the volunteers developed diabetes or prediabetes, a condition that often leads to type 2 diabetes. They also linked NFLD (Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease), which is sometimes described as a minor condition, to risk of developing end-stage liver disease.
The researchers therefore recommend that lifestyle modifications in all patients with NAFLD should be looked into. Not only would such action reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, intense dietary intervention may also improve liver histology in NFLD.
