Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Cholesterol and triglycerides level are higher than normal range.
HbA1C is also higher than normal range.
You should follow a healthy diet and avoid sugar consumption in the daily basis.
Vit D and Vit B12 are lower than normal range.
I suggest to take a vitamin supplement which should contain vit D and B12.

Hope my answer was helpful.
