Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the query. From that it is clear that she has diabetes, and thyroid (?) problems. It is not mentioned whether hypo or hyperthyroid. Plus no details about blood glucose levels, HbA1c%, lipid values and BP readings, current treatment. Another important aspect is that she is already in grade 1 obese category with a BMI of 37.97 kgs/Sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/Sq meter). Plus I also need her present diet pattern and extent of daily exercise before a diet plan can be given. It is better if you come in a private conversation with all the relevant details, Thanks.
