Hi, I recently had lab tests for cholesterol, and the results show high LDL, HbA1c, lipoprotein (36.09), and serum globulin (34.42). I have attached a screenshot of the report. Could you please advise which specialist I should consult for proper evaluation and treatment?

High LDL cholesterol and lipoprotein levels indicate a need for cholesterol management to protect heart health. A raised HbA1c suggests high blood sugar levels, requiring diabetes evaluation and control. Elevated serum globulin may need further evaluation but can be related to infections or inflammation. You should consult a physician or an endocrinologist for diabetes management and a physician or cardiologist for cholesterol management. Lifestyle changes with diet and exercise will help along with treatment.

Sir, my LDL is 100, HDL 35, and total cholesterol around 132 (I have lost the report). Are these values healthy, or should I be concerned about them? Please advise.
