Triglycerites 350, doc putting me on meds before any diet and exercise plan? shouldn't we try diet&exercise first?

Not at that level: Diet may help some, but you really need to cut back greatly on your carbs. If you eat a lot of protein your cholesterol may rise. It is a good idea to have a good diet and exercise regularly in any event.

I would: High triglycerides can be affected greatly by diet, exercise, alcohol (avoid), and diabetes.
