My fasting blood sugar is 115, and 2 hours postprandial its 197. What should I do about my triglycerides of 662?
Your fasting sugar is near normal, but your post-meal sugar and triglycerides are high, which increases the risk of heart and metabolic problems. To lower triglycerides: avoid sugary foods, refined carbs, fried foods, and alcohol, eat more vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, and include daily exercise like brisk walking. Your doctor may also prescribe triglyceride-lowering medicines if lifestyle changes are not enough. Regular follow-up and blood tests are important to keep both sugar and lipids under control.
