See an internist: You may become successful in controlling both your LDL and fbs, if you start a specific diet and exercise program. You do not necessarily require medications, and you have a great chance of getting all under control. Do not dwell on your problems, rather overcome your limitations and make your goals include a happy successful life.

You may: Be over-reacting somewhat or you are depressed about something else. Your "pre-diabetes" and elevated cholesterol are easily treated many times just by simple lifestyle changes. Save the bad feelings for really bad times. You are young enough to make a really big impact on those conditions. Time for you to fight back. Good luck!
