Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your response.
The reports are suggestive of need of medicines- statins and oral hypoglycemics.
A small dose like atrovastatin 20 mg and metformin 500 mg is what I would have adviced.
Accompany this with diabetic diet, and moderate regular physical exercise.
I am assuming that since you did not respond to the second question of my prior response, that he is on no medications.
Starting a small dose of antiplatelets like aspirin 75 mg is suggested by many physicians.
I hope the information helps you.
Best of luck.
