I think you consult your doctor, but a little fluctuation here and there doesn't matter.
Do Physical daily, no fats in diets, and stimulants.

Saturated fat is the main dietary cause of high blood cholesterol. Saturated fat is found mostly in foods from animals such as beef, beef fat, veal, lamb, pork, lard, poultry fat, butter, cream, milk, cheeses and other dairy products. Foods from plants that contain saturated fat include coconut, coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil (often called tropical oils), and cocoa butter.
High cholesterol causes high blood pressure. The best thing for high cholesterol is Losing weight. A plant-based diet in conjunction with a properly conducted fast, most often leads to a total recovery or a vast improvement in hypertension and angina.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/XsGc0
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Your doctor has to decide.
If you are having an oily and fatty food you have to switch over to a low oil -non fatty menu.Discontinue non -vegetarian food.Cut down milk and milk products.Soya milk or fat free milk are alternatives.Include garlic in your food.Do moderate exercise.If cholestrol level is not still under control,take medicines.

Your Dr should be addressing this issue with you.
My levels were off also. He has prescribed something for it. Hopefully, it'll help ward off the heart disease and a stroke.
Changing the diet seems like the best thing to do.
