Hello,

The glucose levels indicate if you are diabetic or not. With the levels you mentioned, I suggest you see a doctor as you might need to start anti diabetic medications. For the triglyceride levels, it indicates lipid profile which is crucial. To lower down the triglyceride levels along with medicines, regular exercise and diet modification is needed which will also help you in weight reduction. You can visit a diabetologist or a cardiologist for further management regarding the medicines.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
