Medical experts warn that individuals with Type 2 diabetes are at a significantly higher risk of developing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver cells. Because the liver has few pain receptors, this &#8220;silent assault&#8221; often progresses without noticeable symptoms until it reaches advanced stages like cirrhosis or permanent scarring. Doctors emphasize that the relationship is cyclical; while diabetes promotes fat accumulation in the liver, a fatty liver further complicates insulin resistance, making blood sugar levels even harder to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To combat this growing health crisis, hepatologists recommend that diabetic patients undergo regular liver function tests and specialized imaging, such as a FibroScan, even if they feel perfectly healthy. Managing this dual threat requires a holistic approach that goes beyond just monitoring glucose. Lifestyle interventions\u2014specifically a Mediterranean-style diet, consistent cardiovascular exercise, and weight loss\u2014have proven effective in reversing early-stage fat accumulation. As Chandigarh sees a rise in metabolic disorders, health officials are urging a shift in treatment protocols to include &#8220;liver-first&#8221; strategies for all long-term diabetic patients to prevent irreversible organ failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new health report from Chandigarh highlights a dangerous and often overlooked complication of diabetes:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3183,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3182"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3182\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3184,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3182\/revisions\/3184"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theimphalreporter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
