Brief Answer:
Liver problem
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
All of your liver enzymes have gone bad. Now a good functioning liver is essential for the smooth functioning of our body. Also the medication dosages also depnd on your liver status.
You have mentioned that you take lot of herbs to reduce sugars. In my clinic i generally discourage the patients to take these herbs as they are not well studied.
You should stop taking those herbs ane then recheck liver profile after 10 days.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you
