Abstract

NAFLD, whose prevalence keeps growing, is strongly linked with type 2 diabetes (T2D) through insulin resistance and oxidative stress. A multifactorial association with T1D has recently been found. NAFLD screening aims to identify non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and fibrosis and to better refer to liver specialists. It is recommended for patients at higher risk, such as those with T2D. NAFLD treatment cornerstone is weight loss, obtained through lifestyle interventions, obesity pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery. When treating patients suffering from NAFLD and T2D, we should prioritize GLP-1 analogues and PPAR agonists, capable of regressing NASH, and SGLT2i, efficient on liver steatosis.
