My recent blood report shows HDL 30 and LDL 240. Is this alarming? I have started a proper diet to increase HDL and reduce LDL from a week. How effective is this in improving my cholesterol levels, and what more should I do?

LDL is very high and HDL is low. Diet, exercise, and omega 3 can help. If no change in 3 months, lipid lowering medicine may be needed.

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?
