Diabetics usually have high triglycerides (TG). First control your Blood glucose, reduce weight, reduce refined carbohydrates and oils. Do regular exercises. I am sure with this your TGs should come down. If they do not, then fenofibrate group of drugs can reduce it. For this consult your diabetologist/endocrinologist.
