Hi Debra, Alba here from Cholesterol HDL LDL. I understand perfectly your worries about your husband's lipid profile. Actually, there are some reasons he might have high triglycerides: 1 - Perhaps he has family history for <a href="http://www.cholesterol-hdl-ldl.com/elevated-triglycerides.html">hypertriglyridemia </a> (high blood triglycerides). If this is the case, then he should never give up the changes he's making. Take note that his blood triglycerides would never be normal as for normal people, but his normal levels will be higher than normal ones. 2 - You are telling that he has stopped drinking beer. This is good. Drinking beer or any other alcohol drinks "destroys" the balance of lipids (especially of triglycerides) in blood. This may be another probable <a href="http://www.cholesterol-hdl-ldl.com/causes-of-high-triglycerides.html">cause for your husband's high triglycerides levels</a>. If he has totally stopped drinking alcohol, and go on with good changes, after some time his levels will go down. For this you need time and patience. 3 - Another explanation for high triglycerides is his preparation for the test. Perhaps he has closed one eye and eat something "unconsciously" before going to hospital and do the lipid profile test. If this is the case, just go on with good lifestyle changes, and ask your doctor if he can repeat the test. 4 - If he's suffering also from diabetes or any <a href="http://www.all-about-beating-diabetes.com/what-is-insulin-resistance.html">insulin resistance</a> problems, then this is any cause for his high triglycerides. In this case, a good control of diabetes or insulin resistance, will help lowering high triglycerides apart the changes you're making. Again, all the good lifestyle and dietary changes you're doing, I believe his lipid profile will be "quite" normal again. I mean, don't worry if his triglycerides levels are not less than 150 but are 175, this is a good figure too for his age. In case, his triglycerides levels will not come down after some time (1 month or two), then talk to his doctor, if he should start any medication. Hope I helped. Please do send another of your inquiry if you have any.
