Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details. Your cholesterol 223 mg is not very high. There is no need to take any drug for that. Diet control and exercise will help. As regards mean glucose 153.9 mg which means your HbA1c% almost 7, which suggestive of diabetes. Because diabetes is confirmed when HbA1c% goes above 6.5% You are confusing mean glucose with HbA1c% both are different. To bring glucose level down you will have to look at your diet and may be increase the extent of daily exercise. Or may be start treatment for diabetes. Thanks.
