What is the treatment for triglyceride?

High triglyceride: Assuming you are asking about treatment for high blood triglyceride, the first line treatment is a proper diet that avoids simple sugars . See the glycemic charts that show which sugars to avoid the most e.g. Sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Discuss the treatment with a dietitian or your doctor. Have a check up to rule out diabetes and other illnesses.

Depends on cause: High triglycerides have many causes. In patients with secondary causes, such medications or other diseases, stopping those medications or treating the condition may help. Indeed , high tg's can be seen in patients with obesity or "pre-diabetes" and often dietary carbohydrate/sugar restriction can improve tg's. However, in those with genetic causes, often dietary fat restriction is required.
