LDL is borderline high, VLDL mildly elevated. Regular cardio, low fat diet, and omega3 rich foods recommended. Reassess in 3 months.

My recent test results are: FBS: 120, PPBS: 167, Total cholesterol: 233, HDL: 45, LDL: 152, Non HDL cholesterol: 188. Are these results concerning for blood sugar and cholesterol levels? Please advise.

Last Saturday, I went for a full body checkup at Dr. Lal Path Lab. In the report, I found that I have high triglycerides, 421, and uric acid, 9.9. I want to ask if it is possible to do treatment in Homeopathy?
