Nonalcoholic fatty pancreas and liver disease (NAFPD and NAFLD) and pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) are often associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our aim was to evaluate the incidence rate of NAFLD and NAFPD, PAT size, and the effect of metformin treatment on NAFLD, NAFPD, and PAT in new-onset T2DM (NODM). Seventeen patients with NODM and 10 subjects used as a control group were involved in the study.
