When a doctor orders a lipid panel--a test that measures cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood--we often focus on our cholesterol numbers. But knowing your triglyceride level is important, too.
Reducing excess triglycerides in the blood can lower your chance of developing diabetes as well as heart disease and other problems. And if you already have diabetes, keeping triglycerides under control can greatly reduce the chance of having a heart attack or stroke.
