Brief Answer:
You need to control hypertension and diabetes for best results

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic!

Based on the history you have shared, you have bigger problems to deal with which needs your primary attention and these are diabetes and hypertension and superimposed by high cholesterol levels. the best approach here would be to attain significant control and with good followup and appropriate therapy and diet therapy, it can be controlled well.

Using detox methods like liquitrim as you mentioned have not been proven scientifically with trials for their effectiveness. Also that liver and kidney has this function already and of both of these are working normally as can be confirmed by your, blood screens. Using such drugs will do more harm then good. Your kidneys are more sensitive in the setting of diabetes and hypertension and need extra bit of precautions in using unnecessary medicines.

For cholesterol, restrict high fat diets and greasy foods. Use statins to lower levels and use high fibres.

Hoping you a good health. If you dont have any more questions, please close the discussion. You can also reach me directly through my profile in future, in case of any more questions. Regards.
