Brief Answer:
Suggest raising the cholesterol medicine dose
Detailed Answer:
Hello. i am Dr Mittal.
Sugars and BP seem to be fine.
The only thing significant seems to be the lipid profile that's abnormal.
You are already on novastat 10 mg.
This may need to be raised.
However, I need to know how long you have the medicine.
Usually a period of at least 3 months is needed.
If that period is over, the dose needs to be increased.
A dose of 20 mg should be good.
Monitor your diet and exercise regime.
Avoid alcohol and smoking.
Feel free to ask a follow up query.
BeSt of luck
