1. Overweight could be due to diabetes [due relative Insulin Deficiency] or obesity have lead to diabetes [due to Insulin Resistance], in both cases having a Diabetic diet with exercise can bring dramatic changes in blood sugar as well as weight parameters
2. say no to sugar, all sweets [cakes,biscuits,jams,honey,mangoes,grapes]
. Eat in plenty leafy vegetables,tomato,brinjal,lady finger,cauliflower,soup, sprouted pulses
. regularize timings and quantity of meals.
. brisk walking for 45 minutes every day, at least 5 days a week
. Low Fat Diet: more of soup/salad and sprouted pulses
. Ayurveda though is a slower process, but in case of weight loss: haste makes waste, so one has to be gradual in his approach.
PS. Since HbA1C is 7 [normal 2-6%], is little high thus eliminate known risk factors and then plan accordingly.
