Avoid fried foods, red meat, full fat dairy, and bakery items. Add oats, flax seeds, walnuts, green leafy vegetables, and fruits. Use olive oil or mustard oil in moderation. Include 20 to 30 mins of walking daily. Take Vitamin D rich foods (eggs, fortified milk) and sun exposure.

Hi. I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. My fasting blood sugar is 320, postprandial is 400, and HbA1c is 12.2. My triglyceride level is also higher than the normal limit. Can you please help me understand how to manage and overcome this condition?

My brother, Dhrub Kumar, has very high cholesterol and triglyceride levels according to his recent blood test. I am attaching the report for your reference. Kindly guide us on how to lower his cholesterol and triglycerides through diet, lifestyle, or treatment.

I have been prescribed Lipitor 20 mg once daily at bedtime since January 2016. Is it safe for me to stop this medication and try natural or home remedies to reduce my cholesterol instead? My blood sugar is under control. Please advise.
