Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Swollen legs, vein and edema is possibly related to postural edema secondary to cardiac cause or medications. In lying down position, limb elevation above heart level using pillow (2-3) will reduce it.
2. FBS is high and will lead to complications in long term. It needs to be brought into control with diet modification, medication, weight reduction and counseling.
3. Triglyceride is mildly raised. Not to worry. Once glucose levels come under control due to lifestyle change, it will also improve.
4. Regular medication for Parkinson's disease, diabetes mellitus is very important.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
