Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Blood glucose control is good. To reduce weight you have do following things: Reduce food intake by may be 1/3rd and increase physical activity to more than 1 hour a day. You should do aerobic exercise for about 3 to days and strength building ones for other 2 to 3 days. By cutting down about 500 calories from daily food intake with exercise one can cut approximately 1/2 a kg weight per week. Thanks.
