Type 2 Diabetes Reversal: Doctor Highlights overlooked Role of Fatty Liver Disease
Hamburg, Germany – A growing number of individuals with type 2 diabetes may find a path to recovery by addressing a frequently underestimated factor: fatty liver disease. dr. Matthias riedl of Medicum Hamburg is advocating for a shift in treatment paradigms, emphasizing the critical link between the two conditions and the potential for reversal through targeted intervention.
For years, traditional diabetes management has largely focused on blood sugar control. However, Dr. Riedl asserts that the underlying role of fatty liver disease is frequently enough overlooked, despite its critically important impact on overall health and the potential for long-term remission. This oversight can hinder effective treatment and leave millions vulnerable to the disease’s debilitating complications. Approximately one in three adults globally lives with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition increasingly linked to insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes.
“The importance of fatty liver disease as a central risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes is often underestimated and hardly taken into account in traditional treatment,” Dr.Riedl explained in a recent interview. He further emphasized that addressing fatty liver disease can have far-reaching effects on a patient’s overall health.
The doctor’s approach centers on recognizing and treating the root cause of insulin resistance,frequently enough stemming from excess fat accumulation in the liver. This can involve dietary changes, increased physical activity, and, in some cases, medical interventions to reduce liver fat and improve insulin sensitivity. While not a guaranteed cure for all, Dr. riedl’s method offers a promising avenue for achieving lasting remission and improving the quality of life for those struggling with type 2 diabetes.
