Slightly elevated.: This is a borderline high level and is an indication to lessen intake of sweets and starches. Alcohol also raises triglycerides. After these adjustments which should also reduce your weight, recheck your lipid levels in 3 months after a 12 hour fast to get the most accurate readings. Elevated triglycerides are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease but you're ok at this time in your life.

If fasting: It would be slightly high. Cut your starch and sugar! Flaxseed oil can lower it too!
