Data shows that no more than 20% of people with diabetes ever see an endocrinologist, underscoring the need for increased vigilance at the point of care to address the associated onset and prevalence of NAFLD and the value of an examination with FibroScan, a painless, five-minute screening that can be used to diagnose and monitor liver health.
