Diabetes doubles liver damage risk in India

Diabetes doubles liver damage risk in India

A big study in India found that people who have both diabetes and a liver condition called fatty liver disease are much more likely to get serious liver damage.

This damage can lead to big problems like cirrhosis or liver failure.

The study looked at 400 people and found that those with both conditions had a much higher chance of getting this serious liver damage compared to those with just fatty liver disease.

Doctors say it's important to check for both conditions early and treat them to keep people healthy.

This is a big concern in India because many people have these conditions but don't know it.
