Triglycerides are one of the things that make up total cholesterol, but they aren't *caused* by eating fat. When your body eats more sugar/carbohydrateds than it can use for energy, high triglycerides are the result. In my case, given my family history of diabetes and my relatively high fasting blood sugars, a less than perfectly functioning pancreas is probably also involved. My doctor wants me on one of the Atkins diet variants. :(
