Yes, fatty liver (especially NAFLD – Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) can definitely affect blood sugar levels. --- How Fatty Liver Causes High Blood Sugar: The liver plays a key role in glucose metabolism. In fatty liver, the liver cells become insulin resistant, meaning they don't respond properly to insulin. This leads to higher glucose production by the liver, even when it’s not needed, causing elevated blood sugar. --- How to Control Blood Sugar When Fatty Liver Is Present: 1. Lose Weight Gradually (if overweight): Even 5–7% weight loss can improve both liver and sugar levels. 2. Low-Carb, Liver-Friendly Diet: Avoid sugar, fried food, refined carbs, red meat, alcohol Eat green leafy vegetables, dal, whole grains, nuts (in moderation), and fruits like apple, guava 3. Exercise Regularly: Aim for at least 30–45 minutes of brisk walking or light cardio daily. 4. Take Medicines if Prescribed: Your doctor may give Metformin or other sugar-lowering meds that also help with liver fat. 5. Monitor Sugar and Liver Function Tests (LFTs) regularly. --- So yes, fatty liver and high sugar are closely linked, but both can be improved together with diet, exercise, and medical guidance.

Yes, fatty liver (especially Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease – NAFLD) can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. How? Insulin resistance: Fat accumulation in the liver makes the body less responsive to insulin. Impaired glucose metabolism: The liver plays a key role in regulating blood sugar; a fatty liver disrupts this balance. Inflammation: Fatty liver can lead to chronic low-grade inflammation, which contributes to the development of diabetes.
