What is the difference between a triglyceride level and blood sugar level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The Thing they Check: Triglycerides measure... Triglycerides (a form of fat) in the blood. Blood sugar levels measure glucose. The two are only loosely related and don't directly interact in any meaningful way.
