I never use any medicine without doctor advice, even Paracetamol for headache.

Salaam. Dear I would advice you to have yours blood sugar and uric acid levels checked by lab. As you have high blood pressure and cholesterol so I will request not to use vitamin E as it increase heart protein. Metformin was used few years ago, but not any more. Only pioglitazone have role in fatty liver disease..
You must decrease yours weight by decreasing yours diet, avoiding junk foods, breverag, decrease sugar intake, Do Walking for at least 30 minutes. Avoid oily, food and extra salt
. Must stop smoking if you are smoker

by the way i have always failed to understand why on earth physicians request serum uric acid on every patient. what information we gather from this and how helpful it is in predicting CV risk ?i think its waste of patient hard earned money for no relevant information.

if LFT are normal it would be wise to continue with statins , atorvastatin 10 mg is very small dose if it is showing therapeutic benefit fine otherwise it should be increased to 40 mg .increase metformin to 1 g twice/day , and try reducing weight by increasing activity.

ATORVASTATIN IS NOT LINKED TO INSULIN RESISTANCE ITS VISCERAL FAT THAT CAUSES INSULIN RESISTANCE

So its clear that Visceral fat is the culprit not the atorvastatin.

thanks Dr sahiba for reply.
Yes I'm working on weight reduction, by modifying diet and brisk walk. Going to start regular moderate exercise soon.
I feel more tired after walk than other persons, perhaps its due to hypertension.
