Lowering triglycerides may involve lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, changing your diet, and getting more exercise. When certain medical conditions are uncontrolled, triglyceride levels may rise. If increased triglycerides are the result of another condition that is not being treated (such as lupus or diabetes), treatment may focus on getting such health issues under control. Medications used for lowering triglycerides include statins, nicotinic acid, and fibrates.
