    With the short deadline you have, you have to submit the ITA together with these unfortunate medical results. It is likely that the MA will ask you to go for further testing since you exhibit such high levels of triglycerides. This usually results in an extensive delay to your application process.

    Bkymoster is right. Don't wait for the answer. Seek medical attention to try and bring down those levels.

    From a diet/lifestyle point of view as Im a Dietitian, I would recommend the following

    To reduce LDL: really cut back on sugar and foods and drinks containing sugar ie coke, sweets, biscuits, cakes and especially alcohol.

    To improve HDL: increase exercise, lose weight

    To reduce total cholesterol: Reduce fat intake, especially saturated fat from animal sources....butter, cheese, red meat etc..

    Not sure how quickly you can see a result, I normally say about 3 months.
