Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. There is no way to suggest a diet unless I know your present dietary habits, extent of daily exercise. Anyways, since you have a family history of diabetes, it better if you restrict sweets intake, also avoid deep fried foods, junk foods, bakery items, pastries, and foods made from maida as well as colas. Increase the intake of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruits. Always use whole grain flour for roti and chapati. Your total caloric intake has to be based on your ideal body weight (70 kgs) not on actual one. Thanks.
