He should be eating food with omega 3 fatty acids like avocados, cod liver oil, nuts, olive oil in place of regular oil, fishes etc. Try to include garlic, onions, broccoli and fresh seasonal fruits. 30 to 60 minutes of walk. He can divide it in morning and evening hours each 30 minutes. HBA1C of 7 is not very good. Try to eat carbohydrates in moderation. Try giving fresh vegetables. Best if eaten raw or boiled. Vegetables like okra and bitter guards are very good for insulin resistance. These small changes can really help with diabetes and heart conditions.
