Cardiologist,  's  Response
Respected Madam
Thanks for your query.
Yes, it seems fine. But you must consult your physician as all diabetics should be on statins (a class of lipid lowering medicines), irrespective of their lipid levels, life long as per latest recommendations of American college of cardiology. Otherwise your lipid profile is optimal.
Your fasting blood sugar is also within normal limits. However type II diabetes is best monitored by HBA1C every 3 month.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
