I’m planning to go on my first cycle of 300mg test E. Starting with a low dose and 1 compound to see how my body reacts. I got my pre-cycle bloodwork results today. Everything is fine and in range except for my cholesterol and glucose. My diet has not been the cleanest given that I’m bulking pretty aggressively. Here’s my levels below:

Glucose: 105 (range 70-99)
Total Cholesterol: 214 (range 100-169)
HDL: 54 (range >39)
LDL: 138 (range 0-109)
Triglycerides: 126 (range 0-89

Should I prioritize lowering my cholesterol and glucose before hopping on testosterone, or would it be okay to hop on now, and try to fix the diet in the process. I know taking exogenous testosterone could raise cholesterol even higher. Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.
