How to reduce serum triglycerides?.?

I am 54 male diabetic and have Hypertension have under gone CABG.(By pass sugery) .4 years ago ,now my LIPID profile says TG as 184 .pl let me know how to reduce TG.

Cardiovascular exercise and low-moderate carbohydrate diets containing essential fatty acid are recommended for reducing triglyceride levels. When these fail, fish oils, fibrate drugs, niacin, and some statins are registered for reducing triglyceride levels. Prior alcohol intake can cause elevated levels of triglycerides, and reducing alcohol intake is routinely recommended in patients with high triglyceride levels.
Eat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet. This kind of diet includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish (not canned in oil), vegetables, poultry, egg whites, and polyunsaturated oils and margarines (corn, safflower, canola, and soybean oils). Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, lard, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.
Please see the webpages for more details on Triglycerides.

Eat less fatty foods. Eat more low fat foods. Reduce your carbohydrate intake. Oatmeal helps to reduce triglycerides, but if this is an ongoing problem...you may try medication. There are tons of meds out there that can help.

You need to make dietary changes....exercise more if you can and possibly start on medication. Hyperlipidemia (elevated triglycerides) is a red flad for a stroke later in life...not to mention coronary artery disease, which sounds like you already have....hence the CABG.

Take care of your body and your body will take care of you....

Best wishes.

some drugs for reducing triglycerides Cholestyramine, Colestid, Crestor, Lipitor, Lopid, Mevacor

Omacor is what i'm taking, new drug works good

cut way back on sweets, starches and white breads. it is best to stick to whole grains. increase intake of fruits and veggies. i'm glad you are concerned. please take care.
