Don't mean to go one up, but my triglycerides were, at one time, about five years ago, ranging between 500 and 1000... While I took Omega 3 capsules, they did little to lower the readings, and even a diet change had little effect... down to the high 300's.
The recommended drug is Tricor (generic fenofibrate), which has dropped the reading to under 150...
Whether with triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, or any of the blood test readings, the effect on each individual is different, as is the effect of different drugs. Naturally the approved standards are correct as a guideline, but can be less important than the general health and physical makeup of each individual.
Obviously, any combination of exercise, good diet, sleep habits and avoidance of physical health risk are the best means of attaining goals, but avoidance of medication may be worse be worse than relying only on the natural cures.
One of my own cautions to myself, is to double check the online sources for motive. Many websites that purport to offer "cures" are often naturopathic medicine sites. I'm more inclined to go to places like WebMD, National Library of Medicine and National Institute for Health. The great part about being retired, is that ya have the time to do in depth research. There's enough information available to be as knowledgeable as the doctor, which makes the actual doctor visits much more productive. Saves a lot of guessing and missed communication.
