I cannot answer your questions (engineer, not a medical person) but I
can
mention some things you should think about:
1. Your Fasting Blood sugar is a bit high. It may be predicting future
diabetes.
http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3165
2. If your suspiciously high Fasting Blood sugar is caused by high
Insulin
Resistance, your past cholesterol history may not have been as
"positive'
as you thought. A triglycerides to HDL ratio greater than 3.0 is
considered a marker for high Insulin Resistance and small-sized LDL
particles. Small-sized LDL is implicated in arterial disease.
You are taking a statin (Razel) and controlling your diet , ( ". . .
..control diet no fats, no dairy products, no oils,. . ."), but your
ratio
is 2.48. Mine is 1.3
People with high triglycerides/HDL ratios often reduce their ratios by
reducing the amount of carbohydrate in their diet.
Metformin has been found useful in people with unfavorable triglycerides
and HDL ratios related to high Insulin Resistance.

3. Razel is suspected of producing excessive adverse side effects in
Asian
ethnic groups. If you are such, (India?) you may want to seek a
substitute statin, i.e.
http://www.doctorndtv.com/FAQ/detailfaq.asp?id=4991
". . . .Assuming that you do need medicine, one should certainly avoid
rosuvastatin (sold under various brand names such as Razel) since it has
caused severe adverse effects including rhabdomyolysis (a potentially
fatal
disorder of muscles). This medicine is known to have more serious side
effects in Asian ethnic groups (such as Indians) compared to Caucasians
(such as English, Anglo-Saxons). Because of this reason the US Government
agency dealing with medicines has ordered the manufacturers to conduct
further trials on this drug in Asian communities.
Older statins such as atorvastatin (sold under various brand names like
Atorva, Li****est) or lovastatin (sold under the brand name of Pro-HDL) are
safer and as effective in reducing cholesterol levels. . ."
