Diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, is closely linked to fatty liver disease because of how the body handles sugar and insulin. When blood sugar levels stay high, the body stores more fat, which can build up in the liver over time.

Why this matters
Managing diabetes is important to protect your liver and overall health.
What you can do
