I have high triglycerides & cholesterol, I also have type 2 diabetes all that I inherited from my Mother. My problem is I have been taking the necessary changes in diet, lost 10 pounds, taking medicine as prescribed and take 2 Omega capsules every day, take a low dose asprin, I also walk at least 30 minutes every day when weather permits.
As, of my last report my triglycerides were still way up while everything else was in a high normal range. What can I do now? Can somehthing else be causing my problem?
Congratulations on the weight loss! I understand that you must be frustrated by your high triglyceride levels despite your dietary changes, consistent exercise patterns and daily medications. I just forwarded your inquiry to THCN's medical expert. In the meantime, I would maybe suggest that you consult our low cholesterol diets webpage at http://www.healthcentral.com/heart-disease/cholesterol-000023_7-145.html. You might learn about new recommended low-cholesterol food options and i would even recommend that you check out foodfit.com for zesty, fresh and most importantly, healthy recipes.
If you find that none of these additional dietary changes help lowel your high triglyceride levels, I might recommend you consult your physician for additional help.
Hope this is helpful,
