Discuss w/doctor: This is a complex scenario, and requires much more information and thoughtful consideration than a short answer online forum. Discuss this with your doctor, and don't hesitate to ask questions so the interpretation of your tests and the plan is clear to you. Hope this helps!

Metabolic syndrome: You have high TG, low HDL and insulin resistance which suggests metabolic syndrome....included in this syndrome is abdominal adiposity and hypertension as well. You need to lose weight in a healthy sustainable way: exercise 4 x/week and portion control of what you eat. With a concerted effort, I suspect your lipid profile will improve. At 26, you owe it to yourself to live heart healthy lifestyl
