Nondiabetic patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease already have insulin perturbations putting them on track for a variety of more serious health conditions, new data show.
In a study of 98 consecutive nondiabetic patients with NAFLD referred to a metabolic liver clinic, the mean fasting insulin level was 14.3 microIU/mL, according to data reported May 16 at the annual meeting of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
Additionally, mean insulin levels during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) exceeded the upper limit of normal from 60 minutes after glucose administration onward, with the gap increasing out to 120 minutes.
