Fatty Liver and Lipitor

I am a 65-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes, which I have kept pretty well-controlled. I also take Lipitor 40 mg/day. I read that Lipitor should not be taken by people with fatty liver disease. I also read that 50% to 70% of people with type 2 diabetes have fatty liver. Should I get off Lipitor?

At a fitness club, they used an electronic device to record my sex, age, weight, and height. Then they took a probe reading on my forearm. The results showed the percent of my body fat. My reading was 14%, which they said was good. What are the normal ranges based on age and sex?
