- Abstract: Both chronic liver disease （CLD） and type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） are major public health issues worldwide， and there is a significant difference in the prevalence rate of T2DM across patients with CLD of different etiologies. Chronic hepatitis C virus infection， dysregulation of fat metabolism， and excessive drinking not only lead to CLD， but also increase the prevalence rate of T2DM. It remains unclear whether chronic hepatitis B virus infection can cause an increase in the risk of T2DM， although the prevalence rate of T2DM significantly increases with disease progression in patients with chronic hepatitis B， and there is still a lack of large-sample evidence for the association between autoimmune liver disease and T2DM. In addition， T2DM may increase the risk of end-stage liver diseases such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore， early diagnosis and individualized management of T2DM are of great importance for improving the prognosis of patients with CLD.
