Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
In diabetes, the aim is a fasting of 70 to 130 and a 2 hour post meal of less than 180.
His fasting has improved but his 2 hour readings are still above range.
In terms of his diet, he would need to decrease his use of some carbohydrates, increase the use of vegetables.
Eliminate sodas and high calorie juices.
He may want to consider seeing a nutritionist for advice.
It would also be good to increase physical activity.
I hope this helps
