because you have multiple health problems you should stay in close contact with your health care provider while making changes. keeping your blood sugar in good control will help your triglycerides so that should be a main focus. be sure to check hemoglobin a1c levels to see what your average blood sugars have been. a diabetes educator can help with your diet if your blood glucose has been high. other things to do (which you may have already been doing) is reducing alcohol lowering your sugar and refined carbohydrate intake participating in regular exercise eating more fish and replacing healthy fats (olive oil/canola oil) for saturated fats (butter high fat meats etc). there is research that shows high-dose omega-3 supplements with docosahexaenoic acid (dha) and eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) can help lower triglycercides but you will need a doctor's prescription. best of luck to you!
my triglycerides are extremely high 7 420! that's right seven thousand four hundred twenty! . are there any new and innovative possible therapies available? seems all the things we've tried is not working. instead the numbers are getting higher each test. we're still changing out my medications again and again. i am not over-weight actually prone the other way very "lean". i have aids since 1990 (hiv since 1980) cancer in2006 kidney failure in 2008 heart attack 2009 and diabetic issues since april 2012 (using 70 units insulin a day). got any new ideas? thanks dave.
