: My doctor put me on Gembrozil immediatley after receiving my lab results last week(639 tri). He said he could't determine the high or low levels because the tri-glys were too high! I feel great 43, and in fair shape. could this be an error in the test or am I ready to drop dead at any minute? Hepl please!!

A triglyceride reading of 639 is not unheard of, but it is not good either. It is just an indication that you are eating an excess of carbohydrates, probably of the refined flour and sugar type. Cut down on the carbohydrates and the triglycerides will go down. Alan
