The chronic metabolic diseases— nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and diabetes mellitus (DM)—have been proven to coexist and act in conjunction, resulting in adverse health outcomes. This issue of Himalaya Livline, a World Diabetes Day special, brings to you a collection of articles revolving around this theme. The presence of NAFLD is known to increase the incidence and complications of DM; an interesting article about the effect of insulin resistance and glycated hemoglobin level on the pathogenesis and progression of NAFLD is covered in the Research Update section. In addition, Dr Smita Datta’s expertise on DM-mediated nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and Dr Sunil K Sharma’s insights on loss of appetite are covered in the Expert Comments section. The Research at Himalaya section features an excerpt of the clinical study that demonstrates the safety and efficacy of Liv.52 DS Tablets in the management of NAFLD. A fact column about DM, important lifestyle-related tips for managing DM, and more such engaging content have been included in this issue. We hope you find this issue informative.
