High Liver Disease Risk for Diabetics, University of Edinburgh Study
Scotsman -- PEOPLE with diabetes are 70 per cent more likely to die from liver disease than those without the illness, according to new research. It is already known that diabetes can increase the risk of some types of liver disease, with poor blood sugar control boosting the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This can lead to scarring of the liver (also known as cirrhosis) and cancer.
