Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You are in to a pre diabetic state. So you need to do regular exercise and weight reduction and follow low fat and diabetic diet.
Moreover, fatty liver is also related to this.
If you are overweight, you need to take care of that.
Your Physician is not worried, because at present nothing is worrisome, but in future, all these things if not taken care may cause various complications.
His medicines are absolutely good. Start with them.
So, in all i would say:
1.Reduce your weight.
2.Avoid Fatty food in diet.
3.To consume potato, rice, oil, ghee, sweets, carbonated beverages in moderated amount only.
4. Avoid alcohol and smoking in case you do.
5. Continue medicines prescribed by your doctor.
Get your lipid profile repeated after 3 months and write back to me with reports.
Mild cardiomegaly can be normal on X-ray , but it is better if you can get an ECHO test done.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
