Triglycerides

One of the many complications associated with diabetes are heart diseases. Although cholesterol is making all the news, triglycerides probably play a bigger role. Insulin resistance may play a part in that by not letting the body utilize glucose properly, with excess being converted to triglycerides and eventually stored as fat for future use.

Here is an article from Doc' Opinion (a cardiologist in Iceland) that tells a little about triglycerides and offers some what to do about it info.

Anybody out there dealing with high triglycerides or anybody who has dealt them in the past? Join in to ask questions, offer what has helped with your trigs, or add links to good articles on the subject.

I use cinnamon in my coffee every morning, heaped 1/2 tspn because I like the taste. I take a turmeric supplement, garlic supplement, and use the spices you mention. I use 1-2 TBS apple cider vinegar with a couple of TBS olive and flaxseed oil as salad dressing. I don't know if they help or not, but I take them because they are supposed to. My cardiologist had me switch from fish oil to krill oil, both are supposed to help raise HDL.
Did your doc explain why krill oil preferred to fish oil?
His explanation was "it works better"
Love that precise medical jargon!
