Not dangerous : A low triglyceride level is excellent. It indicates that you most likely have good Insulin sensitivity and are at low risk of diabetes. Nothing to worry about!

Means: It is lower than the normal adult range. It could indicate a low carb diet, intense exercise, use of medications that lower your triglycerides or poor nutritional status

Nothing: Reference ranges are set so that a few percent of healthy folks fall outside on either end. Low triglycerides is never a problem if you feel well.
