I recently had my lipid profile done, and my triglycerides are 193 mg/dL, while the normal limit is less than 150 mg/dL. My weight and BMI are normal, but I delivered a baby 8 months ago, consumed a lot of desi ghee, and currently have minimal physical activity. Could you please advise how I can reduce my triglycerides? Do I need medication, or can it be managed with diet and lifestyle changes?

Triglycerides at 193 are mildly high but can often improve with lifestyle changes. Since your weight and BMI are normal, focus on reducing desi ghee, sweets, and refined carbs in your diet. Increase daily physical activity, like walking for 30 minutes. Repeat Fasting Lipid Profile after 3 months to monitor progress. Medicines are usually not needed if lifestyle changes control the levels, but follow your doctors advice if levels remain high.

Dear Doctor, please suggest what to do? My husband HDL levels are very low. He was using statins to control triglycerides, which were over 100 and are now 171. I am worried about his HDL levels. His lipid profile shows total cholesterol 118 mg/dl, HDL cholesterol 24 mg/dl, LDL cholesterol 60 mg/dl, triglycerides 171 mg/dl, TC/HDL cholesterol ratio 4.9, LDL/HDL ratio 2.5, VLDL cholesterol 34.2 mg/dl, and non-HDL cholesterol 93.6 mg/dl.
