Hello and welcome to HCM,
The lab results are deranged.
The fasting blood glucose is raised, this is alarming, you need to be investigated for diabetes mellitus.
The lipid profile- cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL are raised. You need to start lipid lowering drugs.
The liver enzymes SGOT and SGPT are also increased, however, the levels are not so much increased to signify lever disease. You can get these two tests repeated again.
Consult your doctor with the report for further relevant investigations and appropriate treatment.
Thanks and take care
