High Triglycerides: Understanding Levels, Causes & Management

Question
My husband, 37, found out that his Triglycerides level is 340. How bad is that? What should he do? Does medication  bring it down for good?

Answer
Hi Samra,
That is pretty high. He needs to exercise and diet to see if that helps bring it down. My guess is that he may need medicines too. The thing about Triglycerides is that the higher they get the more possibility he could develop problems with his blood sugar. It is imperative that he really work to get these down to a normal level whatever it takes.
