Brief Answer:
Continue Atorvastatin and take Vit D supplement

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome.
This is Dr Sameer cardiologist.
I went through the reports.
HbA1c is normal. We call it diabetes above 6.5.
Cholesterol is abnormal for which you have to continue taking Atorvastatin and reduce fat in diet. I would also recommend to do moderate exercise for at least 30min per day.
Vitamin D is also low. You can take supplement in form of Calcirol XXXXXXX 60K units once per week for 3 months.
I hope you will be fine with that.

Thanks and regards

Thank you so much for your advice, Doctor. Will follow the inputs.
Can you also pls comment on the LFT tests? Two of the results have been indicated as high-GGT and SGPT. Should I do something for this? Could it be because of the atorvastatin that I took? Would be grateful for your help.

Regards

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about that

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Yes LFT is slightly deranged, but nothing to be done for that. Yes Atorvastatin can derange LFT, but it will derange all parameters not just GGT or ALP.
For this I'll suggest you to decrease fat in diet do exercise regularly and just for precaution get a ultrasound abdomen done.
If you do exercise regularly, you won't be needing Atorvastatin and we usually do not start it until their are other risk factors associated like Diabetes or Hypertension. So maintain a healthy lifestyle, do exercise regularly and you may get rid of most of the medicine.

If their is anything else I can help you with, I'll more than happy.
Thanks and regards
