On a medical checkup report, "mild fatty liver" is often overlooked by many people: "Just eat less oil, and it'll be fine in a while." But for diabetes patients, fatty liver is not an isolated "liver issue"—it is a core component of the metabolic syndrome.
| Grade | Liver Fat Proportion | Clinical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Mild | 5%-10% | Reversible window period |
| Moderate | 10%-25% | Obvious metabolic disorder |
| Severe | >25% | Increased risk of liver fibrosis |
Why is "cutting back on greasy food" not enough?
Dietary fat accounts for only about 15% of the source of liver fat, while over 60% comes from the liver's own "de novo lipogenesis"—converting excess carbohydrates (especially fructose and refined carbs) into fat. This is why many vegetarians still suffer from severe fatty liver.
Three-Dimensional Reversal Strategy for Liver Health
First Dimension: Reduce Input—Eliminate sugary drinks and fruit juices, halve refined carbohydrates, and finish dinner at least 3 hours before bedtime.
Second Dimension: Increase Output—Engage in 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week plus 2 sessions of resistance training to enhance the liver's ability to oxidize fatty acids.
Third Dimension: Support Repair—Abstain from alcohol, control the weight loss rate to no more than 4% per month, and use ginseng and Dendrobium polysaccharides to protect the liver.

⚠️ Note
This article is for health knowledge purposes. For moderate to severe fatty liver, it is recommended to undergo liver transient elastography (FibroScan) once a year.
