About this test
Triglycerides are the fat your body stores and ships around in the blood after a meal. A high fasting level tracks with diet, alcohol, excess weight, and insulin resistance, and it adds to heart risk alongside cholesterol.
Fasting for 9 to 12 hours matters for triglycerides because a recent meal raises the number sharply. It is read with HDL and total cholesterol, and it responds quickly to changes in diet and activity.
Reading your result
Triglycerides jump after a meal, alcohol, or sugary drinks, and run high with excess weight, insulin resistance, and some medicines. They fall quickly with diet change, activity, and weight loss, often within weeks.
Fasting is a major factor in the number; a non-fasting draw is read differently and usually repeated. A very high value is rechecked fasting before conclusions are drawn, and alcohol in the days before matters.

Kits you collect yourself and mail back to the lab. Ships free, both ways.
