Triglyceride Levels |
|
|
The Triglyceride levels are defined as
follows:
Normal: Less than 150 mg/dL
Borderline High: 150-199 mg/dL
High: 200-499 mg/dL
Very High: 500 mg/dL or above
Acceptable Triglyceride Level
An acceptable triglyceride level would
be 150 md/dL or less. A simple blood test can gauge your current
triglyceride level. Your health professional will require that you
not eat for 12-14 hours prior to the test being conducted. This
allows the triglycerides from you food to be completely eliminated.
The test is only concerned with the amount of triglycerides being
manufactured by the body – not the amount you are eating.
