A member asked:
To try keeping it under control is there anything i can do (like exercise? ) besides taking marine fish oil to help lower my high triglycerides level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe. : Controlling triglycerides is not a serious problem unless the triglycerides are in the 500 or 1000 + range. At that point the potent statins can be used. A very low fat diet always works.
