Hello, Thanks for the query. Developing non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), is quite common in persons with excess weight plus T2 DM. Anti-diabetic drugs do not cause such a problem. It is the excess internal fat and inactivity that is responsible. Looking at your weight and height it is clear that with a BMI of 30.36 kgs/Sq meter, you are already in grade 1 obesity. That is the main reason for NAFLD. Plus if one has improperly controlled diabetes, that also contributes to fatty liver. It is necessary to have strict glucose control and also do regular exercise and maintain normal body weight. Your ideal body weight should be about 55 kgs, which means there is an excess of 20 kgs. That is the major or only contributor. Thanks.
