A member asked:

I'm 40 yr male. i got checked blood sugar & it is as follows: fasting bs 6.5 mmol/l, cholestrol 4.80mmol/l & hdl 0.70mmol/l. is it ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: A fasting glucose of 6.5 mmol/l (117 gm/dl) is in the pre-diabetic range. Cholesterol of 4.8 mmol/l (185 mg/dl) is not bad but HDL of 0.7 mmol/l(@7.3 mg/dl) is low, i.e., not favorable. It would be prudent to see your doctor to address these issues for preventing diabetes and heart disease.
