Dear friend fron whatever you have told me,I can see that your husband is overweight which has a bad effect on his diabetic profile.as he is complaing of abdomen gets full even without food it solicits proper investigation.now he already has fatty liver so there is a fair chance that due to some liver condition he is feeling such heavy and full abdomen condition.so what is required,apart from urgent clinical examination,is a good ultrasonographic profile of whole abdomen to clinch the diagnosis.thank you.
