Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given, there is absolutely no mention of blood glucose levels(Fasting, PP Glucose) & HbA1c%. Also please let me also know diet pattern and extent of daily exercise. As regards the weight loss it can only be understood after going through all the above mentioned details. Thanks.
