Diabetes, Triglycerides and Fish Oil
Many physicians are still unaware that the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends the use of omega-3 fatty acid supplements for those who have high levels of blood fats, known as triglycerides.
People with diabetes often have high triglyceride levels and should be aware of these recommendations. The 2002 AHA guidelines recommend that individuals with high level of triglycerides be prescribed 2-4 grams of omega-3 fatty acids daily.
