Hello,
Welcome to XXXXXXX Thanks for your query.
Regarding liver function test.
The SGOT and SGPT should be maintained around 40 U/L.
SGPT is raised and it is specific to liver.
So there is liver injury. This is due to Alcohol induced hepatitis.
You need to stop alcohol to reverse the liver damage and to control your blood sugar.
Alcohol causes hyperglycemia due to release of sugars from like.
You may need an Ultrasound of the Abdomen to rule out Fatty liver or Alcohol Chorosis.
Consult a Gastroenterologist.
Regarding you Diabetes.
In such young age you have uncontrolled diabetes.
This will lead to damage of vital organs like kidney, eye and heart.
Alcoholism will not help in controlling the sugars.
Take control of your diabetes by
1. Diet
2. Exercise and
3. Regular medications.
Hope the answer helps you.
Pleased to answer other queries.

Is this a permanent damage? Do I have a chance left now to reverse the damage to the liver? Should I take medication? And is this fatal? I am scared.
Hello,
The liver damage is not very bad.
It is reversible it the offending thing(Alcohol) is stopped.
It is not fatal.
You may take medication in consultation with the Gastroenterologist.
Don't be scared. Be hopeful and have a strong determination to stop alcohol.
