We read with great interest the article by Mohamed et al,1 recently published in the Oman Medical Journal. The article has highlighted the prevalence and risk factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Bahrain. We agree that the authors have...
