Carbs: Have to cut back on carb intake. Way back. Coconut oil and olive oils are good oils, and you can add a tablespoon to each meal if desired. Eat lots of non-starchy vegetables.

Depends on trigs: It depends on how high the tg are. Diabetes will often cause modestly elevated triglycerides, and controlling the glucose will lower tg. The most important part of diet is weight loss. If tg are very high, eg. Over 1000, then you need to do the same, but you may have to limit dietary fat, which causes gut-derived lipoproteins (chylomicrons) to elevate.
