Foods with a low glycemic index are less likely to cause a spike in your blood sugar levels.<sup> <\/sup>Eating fruits and vegetables will keep your blood sugar under control and help you manage the fatty liver disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Avoid sugar<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to avoid consuming sugar in high amounts. Managing blood sugar levels may help to deal with fatty liver disease. Avoid foods with a high glycemic index, for example, white rice, white bread, and potatoes. Consumption of foods and drinks that contain high amounts of sugar, especially fructose, should be avoided. Fructose is a simple sugar used to sweeten soft drinks, sports drinks, and sweetened juices and drinks. You also need to consume less sugar at home. The table sugar, scientifically called sucrose, is rapidly converted to fructose and glucose during digestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increase fibre intake<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Involving fibre in your diet has numerous health benefits, like keeping the cholesterol under control, keeping the body weight under control, and stabilising the blood glucose levels. Some important sources of dietary fibre include nuts, seeds, wholegrain foods, oats, barley, lentils, peas, and soy. Keeping the body weight under control may help you manage the fatty liver disease and reduce other complications.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote doc-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Remain vigilant about monitoring your liver enzyme levels in regular blood test reports. Abnormal levels of liver enzymes can serve as indicators of liver conditions such as fatty liver disease.

Early detection can help reverse the condition, if not addressed timely the changes may become irreversible leading to serious complications<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/pharmeasy.in\/legal\/editorial-policy\/dr-arpit-verma-5\"><strong>Dr. Arpit Verma, MBBS, MD (Pharmacology)<\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/pharmeasy.in\/blog\/signs-you-may-have-liver-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Signs You May Have Liver Stress<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Seek_Medical_Help\"><\/span><strong>When to Seek Medical Help?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases of fatty liver, there are no symptoms involved; because of this, it becomes difficult to diagnose this disease.
