All cases of chronic HCV virus start with an acute short-term infection. During acute infection, infected people may develop symptoms. 15 - 25 % of people recover from infection without treatment. Others develop a chronic level of infection. It's difficult for the liver to function correctly during this disease. Other factors, such as increasing insulin resistance, can lead to Diabetes. If a patient has Diabetes and HCV, treatment can be more complicated. The cells of the body can become lose insulin sensitivity. This review looks over the connection between Hepatitis c and Diabetes. During this study, Patients infected with HCV, both men and women, were experimented with to check the prevalence of Diabetes. According to this study, diabetes prevalence in HCV-infected patients varies considerably with and without gender boundaries discussed in this article by collecting data from many sources. So, the conclusion is that HCV might be the cause that could tip to Diabetes. If a general comparison is made with the population, people with Diabetes are more likely to contract Hepatitis C.
