Can anyone advise how to reduce triglycerides.

Can fasting insulin be checked in any pathological lab?

Avoid consumption of alcohol.

High triglyceride levels may be due to :--

* Cirrhosis or liver damage

* Diet low in protein and high in carbohydrates

* Underactive thyroid

. Check your thyroid stimulating hormone.

* Nephrotic syndrome (a kidney disorder)

Other medicines such as female hormones

Poorly controlled diabetes

Disorder passed down through families in which there are high amounts of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.

Adopt low-carbohydrate and high fat diet.

Triglyceride levels are also reduced by moderate exercise and by consuming omega-3 fatty acids from algae, fish, flax seed oil, and other sources.

Are you diabetic ?

Post details about your diet, lipids and blood sugar levels.

simple .avoid all saturated fats,eggs,switch to safflower oil max 3tsp a day,avoid palm,coconut and mustard oil

[rnpath]

you are partly right that sugars indirectly raise TGL.

It is not a myth for saturated fats to raise TGL in diabetics,since their handling of fat is impaired.

High carbs incl sugars, Alcohol & fruits along with insulin resistance & impaired liver will spike TG

Get the carbs down.
