The article identifies the relationship between diabetes mellitus and hepatitis C. the main
relationship is associated with viral effects, pro-inflammatory cytokines and insulin resistance in
the liver. It also shows how clinical trial conducted on hepatitis c patients has resulted in a
decrease in the glucose metabolism providing an important mode of treatment for glycemic
patients.
