BMI: The upper limit of the BMI range is 25 but 26.8 is not far above this.

Hi LDL: Hi. Your BP is excellent. Your LDL is high and your HDL is not great. Your triglycerides and calculated VLDL are great (and suggestive of good insulin sensitivity). You're young, and it's hard to recommend lifelong preventive medicine sometimes for some people (not for me or for many others, however). Glucose > 100 - was that fasting? If so, that's abnormal; if not, probably OK. I'd treat LDL. Read more

Need to see doctor.: I usually like to provide concrete answers to questions here, but your query requires some definitive testing.

You need to initiate a local work-up with a doctor right away. Please. Read more

Exercise increases your metabolic rate and low-fat dieting or fasting decrease your metabolic rate. Read more
