Hi,
Thanks for writing in. Elevated SGOT, SGPT are most probably high because of fatty liver and obesity. You have not mentioned whether enzymes have reduced from the Ist time or have increased. In any case better to see an gastroenterologist to check basic viral markers.. Not every thing can be controlled with diet and walking alone. LDL iis a good example- Diet and walk can reduce LDLby 20 - 30mg% not beyond that. So you cant expect all the abnormalities to normalise with diet and lifestyle alone. You may have to take specific medicines for these issues. HbA1c has come down which us good. I would urge you to take metformin that can help in fatty liver also. I want you to take rosuvastatin for high LDL once sgot, sgpt come back to normal. See a gastroenterologist for high OT, PT. Continue diet and lifestyle modification. Try to get your weight further down. Drink atleast 2- 3 litres of water. Eat lots of greenies. With diet and walk parameters may fall further towards normal.
Hope this helps
