Hi,
Thanks for your question.
* Considering your Height and weight (245 pound) your Body mass index (BMI) is >35 which is Class II obesity.
* In lipid profile-
- Total cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol & Tryglycerides are more than normal.
- HDL cholesterol is below normal.
- Over all it is abnormal Lipid profile with atherogenic risk (Risk for blood vessel narrowing due to cholesterol deposition.
* Glucose level of 101 considering it as fasting denotes Prediabetes (Impaired Fasting Glucose, IFG) status.
* HbA1c of 6.2 (5.7 to 6.4) denote Prediabetes status.
Over all you fulfill the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria of Metabolic syndrome.
* Considering your Class II obesity you have opportunity to revert all these readings even below normal with aggressive life style modification.
- Weight reduction.
- Diet modification (Weight reducing, low calories, low fat diet) 1200 kcal diet with nutritional supplement under the observation of Endocrinologist//Diabetologist and nutrition specialist.
- Regular exercise according to your effort tolerance after evaluating cardiac status.
* Considering your family history and current Prediabetes & Metabolic syndrome status you are really at high risk (Almost 100% chance) of developing diabetes.
* But with your aggressive life style modification under supervision of endocrinologist/Diabetologist, nutritional specialist you can post pone the onset diabetes or possibly live without diabetes for whole life provided you have to follow life style measures for life time.
