I have high triglycerides. I haven't been re-tested yet, so I don't know if what I'm doing works. But what I have been told, and what all the net research I've done indicates, is that to keep them under control, you avoid sugar (this includes "natural" sugar like honey and maple, and fruit juice) and refined carbs. Skip the white rice and bread and go for whole grain. Oatmeal for breakfast instead of Cap'n Crunch. Avoid corn and potatoes. (Rats.)

It's a nuisance until you figure out how it's going to work for you, but you learn to read labels and identify what's actually in stuff, and after a while it isn't too hard.

It's probably what your doc would recommend if he's concerned about your blood glucose levels, too.
