Lipid profile result
My mother's lipid profile test result is as below.
Cholesterol - 208
LDL - 124
HDL - 37
VLDL - 46
Triglycerides - 234
Other than this in her liver function test the alkaline phosphate value is 113
Also, she was covid positive in April and recovered on may 7.
She was on steroids post that her sugar was high.
Right now her Hba1c is 6.7 and fasting sugar value is 126.
What medicine needs to be started ? Are her lipid profile results alarming ? Or dietary and sugar control will bring triglycerides to normal.
Please suggest
