Brief Answer:
Good progress!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is good news and he's making the right decisions. In addition to increase physical activity and exercise, he should also eat right. The fast food is not always good. He should increase portions of vegetables and fibers in his diet. Diet, active lifestyle and regular physical exercise will get him there faster. These are also the best ways to prevent diabetes. Should he continue on this path, the chances of having diabetes would be greatly reduced.

I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
