I'm trying to wrap my head around my recent test results. I've been managing diabetes since 2008, but I'm worried because my latest fasting level is 188. I've also got very high VLDL, triglycerides through the roof, and low Vitamin D3. On top of that, my cholesterol is high too. It feels like everything's piling up, and I'm a bit overwhelmed. What could all this mean for my overall health, and what steps should I be taking to get these numbers down?
