200 or less: 150 or less is ideal. Tg's go up in response to sweet and pasta intake (cakes, pies, deserts, processed grains like pasta, etc). It also goes up with diabetes and pre-diabetes syndromes. Diet and omega-3 fish oils are effective at helping control the level.

Typically <150: Treatments for this include: diet, exercise, wt loss, fish oil, niacin, and prescriptions (ie fibrates and even statins) there is also a prescription fishoil and Niacin available.
