My trigs were 487 at one point. My doctor put me on prescription strength Omega3. Remember, never take anything without first talking to your doctor. Some people can't take omega 3 fish oil.
If I eat carbs, my triglycerides rise like crazy. When I ate rice every day my triglycerides were 1500-1800. Potatoes and pasta did the same.
That is the one area where I’m good, my triglycerides are at 67.
If I cut out carbs for a week, my triglycerides would drop to about 400-500.
No carbs for a month and triglycerides would bottom out about 250.
2 different statins and no carbs. Triglycerides less than 150.

I remember you saying carbs raised your trigs. That is extremely high. ♥️
I found krill oil to be better for triglycerides. It absorbs better. And the after taste isn't as bad.
Did the Doc tell you that you had High Triglycerides at the same time you got your Type 2 diagnosis?
