hello,
from the lab reports only triglycerides are high and all other parameters are in normal range so instead of jumping into proper medication i would like to try out omega 3 capsule which in many cases reduces the triglycerides and after if it doesnt control we can try medication
Next Steps
omega 3 capsules post dinner once daily for 3 months
Health Tips
take food rich in good fats such as nuts, flax seeds, fish and avoid outside junk food and fried food

Hello
I’ve gone through your lipid profile and HbA1c results in detail — thank you for sharing them clearly.
Your Triglycerides (341 mg/dL) are moderately high, while your Total Cholesterol (185 mg/dL) and LDL (73 mg/dL) are within the acceptable range. However, the elevated triglycerides along with HbA1c of 6.1% (which suggests prediabetes) indicate that your metabolism is becoming insulin resistant — something that needs timely correction to prevent diabetes and heart disease in the future.
Here’s what I recommend:
Dietary changes (most effective):
Avoid refined carbs (white rice, maida, sweets, juices, bakery items).
Use more high-fiber foods — oats, vegetables, flax seeds, chia seeds.
Include omega-3-rich foods (fish, walnuts, or flaxseed oil capsules).
Limit alcohol and sugar completely.
Exercise:
Brisk walk or light cardio for 30–40 mins daily, 5–6 days/week, helps lower triglycerides naturally.
Medication (if not controlled by diet):
If levels remain >300 mg/dL despite 4–6 weeks of lifestyle measures, a short course of Fenofibrate or Atorvastatin may be considered (based on your liver profile).
Follow-up tests:
Repeat lipid profile + HbA1c after 8–10 weeks of dietary correction to track improvement.
You don’t need to panic — this condition is fully reversible with the right plan. But since you already have signs of early insulin resistance, a personalized review of your diet, sugar, and lipid management plan will give faster results.
If you’d like me to personally design a customized lipid & sugar correction plan with medicine guidance (if needed),
you can message me directly on WhatsApp —nine three two six zero two zero five three six — for a private one-to-one consultation.
I’ll help you bring your triglycerides and sugar completely under control — naturally and safely.
