Hi and welcome to HCM!

You have not mentioned what the problem is with your blood report. In general, postmenopausal woman are prone for osteoporosis and heart disease. Uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes in the long run can lead to complications like weak bones, ischemic heart disease and others. You do not have to worry as postmenopausal might increase the risk. Keeping optimal blood glucose under control, vitamin B12 and vitamin D supplements, taking medicatons regularly along with lifestyle modification will have good prognosis.
