A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The triglycerides are slightly high but would not treat alone,HdL good-the higher the better and the LDL mild to moderately high.Before meds diet and exercise-decrease polysaturated fats,hydrogenate fats.Increase mono-saturated and polyunsaturated fats and get rechecked in 3-4 months.
