Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You are well aware of the consequences of continuing to eat unhealthy foods and lack of exercise. Yes, the blood sugar readings are dangerously high and need to be urgently taken care of. The lipid profile also shows borderline high readings (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). It is you who has to take the initiative and get going with all that is required to prevent all the complications of uncontrolled diabetes.
To start with, make short-term goals like omitting one or two unhealthy items from your meal for a week or ten days and walking for 10, 15, or 20 minutes alongside. Make a note of all the unhealthy foods that you eat and find replacements for those. Start exercising bit by bit, and gradually you will find yourself motivated to increase the intensity once you start getting results.
Also, see if you can talk to your doctor regarding modifying the dose of diabetes medications for you. Try to analyze and see if there is anything that is stressing you and directing you to unhealthy food choices for comfort.
I hope this was helpful.
