Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that your sugar levels are within range and there is nothing to worry .
Your cholesterol levels are slightly raised , generally < 200 mg/dl should be there . This can be treated with life style modification like exercising for 30 minutes everyday and avoiding fried and fatty foods . You do not require any medicine at present.
You should repeat your levels after 2 months following these interventions .
Take care.

Also do you think , I should do LDL and HDL test to precisely know about cholesterol. Is Total cholesterol level is sum of LDL and HDL ?
What they signify and what should be their range ?
