I have type 2 diabetes and got my HbA1c right down. The doctor was very pleased with it BUT my triglycerides went from 1.6 to 3.5 the doctors said it was too high bad cholesterol. Can't win either high sugar or high cholesterol. How or what diet can I follow? x

Hello and welcome to the group. What diet did your Endocrinologist suggest that you follow? All Diabetics are different. Different diets for different people.

its not that difficult to manage. Find the foods that are making your Tri go up and eliminate them also. But there must be a dialog with your doctors. Ask to see a dietician.

Thank you. Will ask to see a dietitian next time I'm there.

Are you losing weight

Is so then this to rise in TG may be transient

Then you just have to wait till your weight is stable

Get the lipid tests done once your weight Stabilizes

Also having few cloves of garlic crushed and taken early in the morning will bring down the Tg... Can try this if possible

All the best
