You need to take high fiber low fat diet followed by detox diet. Drink lot of water everyday. Take small and frequent meals at regular intervals. Avoid outside food completely. Do crunches and pushups daily to reduce belly fat. Please visit my profile for more information and diet plan for you.

Mr. lybrate-user Thanks for the query.
Your glucose levels are normal. I really do not see the reason for prescription of metformin. Following are the criteria for diagnosing diabetes & related conditions: 1)Normal: FBG: 70 to 100 mg (earlier 110 mg), PP < 140 mg & HbA1c% <5.7%
2) Pre-diabeteic: FBG:101 to 125 mg, PP 141 to 199 mg & HbA1c% 5.7 to 6.4%
3) Diabetes: FBG 126 mg and above, PP 200 mg and above & HbA1c% 6.5 5 and above. I hope things are clear to you. Thanks.
