The cholesterol is fine - no need for medication there. But your blood glucose, if that was a fasting test (before eating in the morning), suggests that you are pre-diabetic. :(

Your numbers are fine RC, better than fine actually...and a nice ratio.
I wouldn't worry too much about a recurring 101 fasting serum glucose unless I had a sibling or a parent with diabetes.
If you are overweight, then lose weight but otherwise just monitor your BG at every blood draw.

VLDL is very ROUGHLY calculated by dividing triglycerides by 5...remember I said ROUGHLY.
Thus witha "normal" triglyceride of 100 the normal VLDL would hover around 20.
