Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Medications are only adjuncts for the treatment of diabetes and cholesterol.You should follow a strict diet and do good exercise to reduce your weight.
Along with this, you should avoid animal fats like meat in your diet that will help you to bring down your cholesterol levels.
Do brisk walk for about 30 minutes every day.
Reducing your body weight helps to decrease the insulin resistance in your body and helps to improve your diabetic status.
Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
Thank you
