Current medical status: blood fasting glucose 105, HDL=66 LDL=122 Total cholesterol=211 Tryglicerides=115
Current medical treatment: oil fish 3,000 mg daily


List of laboratory results that indicate increased risk for diabetes:
-HDL cholesterol under 35 mg/dL or 0.9 mmol/L
-High blood levels of triglycerides, a type of fat molecule (250 mg/dL or 2.8 mmol/Lor more)
-High blood pressure (greater than or equal to 140/90 mmHg)
All your laboratory test results are within normal limits.
