depends on the type of lipid. the most common are HDL (good cholesterol), LDL (bad cholesterol), and Triglycerides (basically blood fats). Goal HDL is >40 for men, >50 for women. Goal LDL is <160 if you aren't on any medication or have any other disease states or risk factors. Goal triglycerides is <150. To increase HDL exercise. To decrease LDL exercise, eat a healthy diet, limit fatty foods. To decrease Triglycerides eat a healthy diet and exercise. Increasing fiber can help with lowering LDL a little, along with OTC fish oils. talk with your doctor, see if you need to be doing any lifestyle modifications.

What Does Lipid Mean

lipids are fats and are components of cholesterol. There are high density lipids, and those are good, the higher the better, and then there are the low density lipids which are not good, the lower the better. So just looking at lipids isn't telling you much, you need to have a breakdown of which lipids are high and which are low.

Doctors will often repeat blood glucose tests if its high. This is to confirm a diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes. There also could have been an error. Just get the bloodwork done asap, and then see your doctor for the results.
