Where there is overeating even in type 1 diabetics, there will be
visceral adipose tissue (VAT).

Any ideas why this adverse effect of excess VAT occurs? There must be
an optimal level of VAT, but why do you suppose it is so dangeropus?
Closes (vascularly) to the liver? So subcutaneous belly fat would not
be as dangerous as VAT, perhaps? Why is a fat ass not as bad?
Does all adipose tissue do much the same thing?

Pls tell, what do you mean by; "Closes (vascularly) to the liver?"

Sorry Kumar, typo. It should have read "close" to the liver. And close
by way of the blood vessels.
I read somewhere that fat stores close to the liver affect it somewhat
more than further away fat stores.

Yes, liver diseases are indicated;

"Diabetes is associated with some types of liver disease. For example,
poorly controlled blood sugar can increase your risk of nonalcoholic
fatty liver disease, also called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. This can
lead to scarring of the liver (nonalcoholic cirrhosis). Also, some
medications used to treat complications of diabetes, such as
cholesterol-lowering drugs, may cause liver damage.

On the other hand, some types of liver disease - such as
hemochromatosis - increase the risk of diabetes. Also, some
medications used to treat liver disease may increase blood sugar levels
enough to require treatment. These include steroids and lamivudine
(Epivir).

May VAT effect other organs similarily.I think, too much gas in
abdomen(blotted) looks to be due to VAT?

The inflammation caused by VAT is systemic.

Yes, how inflamation caused by VAT lead to fatty liver?

The VAT itself infiltrates the liver. A fatty liver is a liver
infiltrated by VAT.

Means, fatty liver and liver/bile abnormailties can be common in
diabetes with VAT?Liver abnormalities is common in type-2 diabetics because of VAT.
Can we consider it that a diabetic2 people with central obesity can
get liver abnormilties? Whether fatty liver even in non diabetics is
as a result of VAT?
Whether such fatty changes also occur in other parts due to systemic
inflammation by VAT?

The fatty changes occur because of overeating and not because of
systemic inflammation.

Which other parts can also be effected due to such VAT?Pancreas.
How it effect Pancreas?
