Diabetes and Cholesterol
My mom has checked her fasting sugar and cholesterol recently and found out the values to be 144 mg/dl for sugar and 226 mg/dl for cholesterol. She hasn't started any medications yet and would like to know if she has to start or not. Will it be possible to control both through dieting and exercise or need medical attention. Thank you.
