How To Lower Blood Glucose Level?
Brief Answer:
Diet and life style modification.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Nice to meet you,
The value of 100 for fasting is absolutely normal. Nothing other than diet and life style modification is needed to prevent from entering into pre diabetes.
1) Try to split your daily meal into 4 or 5 part instead of 3 regular diet.
2) Avoid junks and high calorie diets at a time.
3) Regular walk or jogging at least half an hour a day.
I also recommend to do an HbA1c level as it is highly reliable and precisely calculate your diabetic status about 3 months.
Hope helped you,

Brief Answer:
Yes, try to take cholesterol lowering drugs.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Nice to meet you,
I have gone through your values, thanks for posting
The LDL level (bad cholesterol) has to be lowered since it has increased risk of causing cardio vascular complications.
As you said earlier that you stopped statins due to its side effects, I recommend you to have a word with your treating physician regarding fibrates, which decrease cholesterol with milder side effects.
Try to reduce intake of fat diet. Add dietary fiber in diet.
All drugs have side effects, but we have to use it in favour of benefit risk analysis.
Kindly rate if you are satisfied.
Feel free to contact me again anytime for any clarification.
Take care.
