You have not explained what do you mean by liver damage? Have you undergone any test. I need details of the case. In the meanwhile follow this 1. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. (preferably within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of plain water first thing in the morning 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit (eat whole fruit not juice), a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Take simple food like rice n dal in dinner. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 6. Maintain active life style7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, carbonated beverages 8.

Firstly we have to see how well is diabetes controlled. For that, a recent report of fbs/ppbs/ hba1c is needed. Poor diabetes control has increased risk of infections and joint pain. There must be atleast 20 kg weight loss. Losing weight will help to control diabetes as well as reduce joint pain. A lft (liver function test) is needed to monitor liver functions. Finally we have to do a x-ray of both knees (ap & lat) to check for any joint abnormality. Based on these investigation we can further proceed for management.
