Hepatitis C Viremia Increases the Association With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Hepatitis B and C Endemic Area: An Epidemiological Link With Virological Implication

Abstract

HBV infection did not increase the association with T2DM. A significant mutual link between T2DM and HCV viremia existed in this HBV/HCV endemic area. There was no HCV genotype-specific difference between HCV genotype 1 and 2 in the association with T2DM.
