Brief Answer:
Repeat lipid profile in fasting state

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your sugar levels are reflective of post-prandial state. You donot have diabetes. Also HBA1C is normal.

Lipid profile needs re-evaluation after one month of reducing fat intake. Reduce the quantities of milk products like gee, butter, sweets, etc. Lipid profile should be done after 8 hrs of fasting.

Calcium is only borderline. Nothing to worry.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
