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.

FBS 120 and PPBS 167 are slightly high this shows borderline diabetes or early Type 2. Total cholesterol 233 and LDL 152 are high, which means higher heart risk. Non HDL cholesterol 188 is also above normal needs diet and lifestyle changes. HDL is okay at 45 but can be improved.
