Abstract:
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are serious public health issues worldwide. This article analyzes the association of hepatitis B and hepatitis C with T2DM. The analysis shows that on the one hand, both hepatitis B and hepatitis C promote the pathogenesis of T2DM, which involves viral infection inhibiting insulin signal transduction as well as glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in insulin target cells; on the other hand, patients with T2DM are prone to hepatitis B and hepatitis C, which may be associated with multiple organ dysfunction caused by diabetes.
