Diabetologist,  's  Response
Best plan to reduce weight will always include reduction in your calories intake(for which it is advisable to consult registered dietician) and regular physical activity(that you are doing i.e.60 min walk) . Then the options for medication comes. Since your goal for weight reduction is <20%, I usually do not advice any medicines in such cases. EAT WELL..SLEEP WELL..MOVE WELL.. that's all..
