Triglycerides are fats in the blood stream can be caused by carbohydrates.
They may be from snack foods, so cut them out first. Two years ago I had a
high reading then last June I wanted to try to lower this and did a search
that showed carbs. I am insulin resistant so you find high triglycerides
and low HDL. They are dangerous and I have meds to lower this and
cholesterol.
