Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
The following things can be inferred by the report you have posted.
1. Lipid profile indicates that your cholesterol and triglycerides is very high.
2. Liver enzymes AST and ALT levels are also increased.
3. Glucose levels with 279mg/dl and HbA1c levels with 9.3 is indicating diabetes is under poor control.
The report clearly states that there is mild liver dysfunction along with altered lipid levels and deranged glucose homoeostasis. This could be secondary to poor glucose control.
Hence, with the medications you are taking, the report says that it is not sufficient to keep your condition under control.
You need to follow what your doctor has advised and take strict measures to keep your blood glucose and lipids under control by medications, diet and exercise.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
