Brief answer...you need aggressive management to control your sugar as well as high lipid levels and blood pressure levels.
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
I have seen your reports and they suggest that your cholesterol,triglycerides and blood sugar levels are uncontrolled.Rest of reports are normal.
While uncontrolled diabetes leads to microvascular complications,uncontrolled lipids contribute to various macrovascular complications.
80% of fatalities in diabetics is because of macrovascular complications.
So now you can understand the importance of controlling sugar as well as cholesterol levels.
There are various anti cholesterol medicines which can be used along with necessary diet restriction and regular aerobic exercise regime to control your cholesterol levels.
In fact diet restriction and regular exercises play an equal important role as of medicines.
You can use two different anti cholesterol medicines in lower dose to avoid your stomach ache.
Do's....
Dietary and caloric control
Regular aerobic exercises for 45 minutes
Shedding your weight
Keep a tight control of blood sugar levels as well as lipid levels.
Keep checking these values at regular intervals
Keep date with your treating doctor
Keep a watch on your blood pressure and must ensure that it is well controlled by keeping a target of around 120/80.
Target of your triglycerides should be below 150
Target of your LDL cholesterol to be below 80
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Hello,
There are plenty of medications for cholesterol like statins,fibrates and drugs like EZETIMIBE. Most popular statins used are ATORVASTATIN,rosuvastatin,SIMVASTATIN etc. either of them can be used either alone or in combination with a FENOFIBRATE or EZETIMIBE.
You should ask your treating doctor for the prescription of these.
As far as vitamins and calcium is concerned,there are plenty of them available.
You can take a multivitamin like A to Z and calcium like SHELcAL.
