I am of 42 Yrs old. I conducted a blood check up before 2 months back. My blood is showing the sugar level 165 and 215 respectively before & After food. And trygiceride was above 400. Doctor recommended Metformin for glucose. Again I conducted the sugar test recently. The sugar level is almost the same. I want to know whether there is a correlation with Trygiceride and sugar. Pls. Reply.

Yes. Lipids and diabetes are very much correlated. The body handling of carbohydrates (sugars) and fats (triglycerides) is disturbed in metabolic diseases like diabetes. So we advice reduced fat intake in diabetes as a very important dietary advice. But please remember that no mathematical absolute projection is present in any human ailment becuase we all are not the same. All that can be confidently said is that the body fat handling is disturbed in diabetes abd hence fats do increase in diabetes as compared to non diabetics. Regards.
