Hello,
a fasting blood sugar measurement of 97mg% is within the normal range. A non-fasting one even more so. Unless your son is very athletic and muscular his body weight is high (which is also implied by his high triglyceride levels and low HDL). His triglycerides are high enough to suggest a healthy diet and exercise but not that high to suggest medication. His HDL could be increased by the consumption of foods like fish and olive oil and exercise. Is he a smoker (low HDL) ? If yes, he would do great good to his health if he quit.
Kind Regards.
