General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for your query on HCM

"As"per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this -

1)Do check his fasting blood sugar after 12 hours fast and if present then take medication as per your Doctor's advice.

2)Eat healthy foods. Choose foods lower in fat and calories and higher in fiber. Focus on fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

3)Get more physical activity. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate physical activity in the morning and evening every day. Take a brisk daily walk. If you can't fit in a long workout, break it up into smaller sessions spread throughout the day.

4)Lose excess weights. If you're overweight, losing even 7 percent of your body weight can reduce the risk of diabetes complications. To keep your weight in a healthy range, focus on permanent changes to your eating and exercise habits.

Hope that helps
