A member asked:
I have tryglycerides 254 reading. is this good or bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is elevated: Normal triglyceride after a 12 hour fast is <150. Your level is mildly to moderately elevated if done fasting. If it was not a fasting level you should get a fasting level. Watch fats in your diet. Avoid fast foodtrigs, fried foods and alcohol all of which are high in fats.
