Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
Yes increase in blood sugar levels over long periods can increase serum triglycerides. But physical inactivity high fat diet will also contribute to high triglyceride level .
Solution is control your blood sugars with proper diet aerobic exercises 20-30 minutes everyday and medicines for bringing down blood sugars. Presently you don't need medications to bring down triglyceride level . Just follow above advise.
