Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. TGL 310 mg, is not be bothered about. Your LDl is alos fairly good. Only HDL cholesterol is lower than expected. There is no drug to improve HDL. Regular exercise and diet control does help. Same is the case with fatty liver. There are no drugs for that condition at present. TGL is considered high only when it goes above 500 mg and then fibrate may be considered. Your HbA1c% and fasting glucose show that you are in pre-diabetes state. Hence it is necessary to take certain precautions like avoiding sweets, saturated fatty foods, junk foods, pastries and bakery items as well as foods made from maida. Thanks.
