Now they would like to see it lower yet, to 6.5. Your triglycerides are much more out of control than your diabetes right now, but dealing with your diabetes should help your triglycerides go down. I have a feeling you are using full fat items in your pantry, as well as eating too much meat, right? ;-) This is what your triglycerides level shows. This can be brought down, and if you want to avoid further, more serious cardiac problems, you do need to drop them. We are here to help, anytime you need us.
