Metabolic syndrome: Is common and it associates diabetes and being overweight. Depending on how high triglycerides are they are also involved in increased cardiovascular risk and possible pancreatitis. Life style changes with better diabetes control, if present and weight loss if applicable as well as meds such as fibrates and/or statins are commonly used.
