Thank you for sharing your health details. Based on your information, it sounds like you're dealing with several interconnected issues: obesity, Type 2 diabetes, a grade 2 fatty liver condition, and various symptoms likely related to these conditions.

Given your current dietary habits and health status, here are some tailored recommendations:

1. Dietary Adjustments:

   • Reduce Carbohydrate Intake: Given your fondness for pasta, pizza, and sweets, it's crucial to reduce intake of these high-carbohydrate foods. Carbohydrates, particularly refined ones, can significantly impact blood sugar levels and contribute to fatty liver.
   • Focus on Low Glycemic Index Foods: Incorporate more vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats into your diet. Foods with a low glycemic index are better for blood sugar control.

2. Meal Timing and Intermittent Fasting:

   • Modify Eating Patterns: To manage insulin resistance, consider an intermittent fasting regimen. This might involve extending the overnight fasting period by delaying breakfast or having an earlier dinner.
   • Gradual Transition: Start by eliminating snacks between meals. Gradually extend the fasting window, initially by delaying breakfast and then possibly skipping it altogether, merging into a lunch and dinner routine.
   • Hydration: During fasting periods, stay hydrated with water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee.

3. Physical Activity:

   • Regular Exercise: Incorporate a mix of aerobic activities (like walking, cycling, or swimming) and resistance training. Regular exercise can help with weight loss and improve insulin sensitivity.

4. Addressing Specific Symptoms:

   • Itching and Edema: These could be related to your diet or liver condition. A diet lower in salt and processed foods might help reduce edema.
   • Leg Cramps and Hemorrhoids: These might be alleviated by increased physical activity, better hydration, and dietary fiber.

5. Monitoring and Follow-up:

   • Regular Check-ups: Continue monitoring your blood sugar levels, HbA1c, and liver function tests. Adjustments to your diet and lifestyle should be reflected in these parameters over time.
   • Seek Support: Consider working with a dietitian or healthcare provider familiar with dietary management of diabetes and liver conditions.

Remember, these changes should be gradual and sustainable. It’s important to find a balance that works for you and doesn't feel overly restrictive. Small, consistent changes can lead to significant health improvements over time.
