Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I may be able to help you.
The blood pressure that you have mentioned are suggesting that the levels are under control. Your thyroid, as per the information are stable.
The query says the cholesterol is high, however, the exact levels are not mentioned. So I can't advice you on that. So you might add the exact levels in the follow up query.
The sugars mentioned are fine and nothing to worry about.
To avoid development of diabetes, watch the weight. Regular exercise and well balanced diet will help prevent diabetes.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible.
I hope that the information helps you.
Please feel free to contact me for further information.
Best of luck.

thanks. one more query considering my blood sugar report fasting 96.10 and pp 90 and lipid profile what should be ideal interval to repeat tests?
Brief Answer:
Fasting <120, Post prandial <140.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am glad to be able to help you again.
The fasting blood sugar should be less than 120.
The PP blood sugar levels should be less than 140.
In fact, I think it would be good to avoid eating less .I think it would cause hypoglycaemia. So watch your diet.
As for lipid profile, they should be as low as possible. Except HDL of course. That should be on the high side of normal.
