I am a 34 year old, non smoker, non alcoholic person. My current triglyceride level is 367 mg/dL. My doctor has advised me to take Tonact TG. I want to know if Tonact TG can increase blood sugar levels. Please advise. Thank you.

Tonact TG contains statins and fenofibrate, used to lower high triglycerides. Fenofibrate may slightly increase blood sugar in some cases, but it is generally safe if monitored, especially if you are not diabetic. Maintain a low fat diet, regular exercise, and periodic monitoring of your lipid profile and blood sugar while on medication.

I have developed fat deposits around both eyes, which started after I completed graduation. There is no family history of this, and my cholesterol levels are normal. I have previously had one removal procedure, but the deposits are slowly increasing again. Could you please advise on possible interventions?

Doctor, please help me with a diet chart and let me know how to bring down my cholesterol levels? There is some variation in my lipid profile and I have a Vitamin D deficiency. Thanks.
