In addition, mean HbA1c in the NAFLD group in our study was 12.105 ± 2.1483 compared to their study where mean HbA1c was 8.13±1.69.8 Logistic regression analysis also demonstrated that raised ALT (OR = 3.211, 95% CI = 1.509-6.835) and HbA1c of ≥ 11% (OR = 3.602, 95% CI = 1.438-9.019) had independent associations with the development of NAFLD amongst T2DM patients. This evidence concerns the gene GPT and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
