Has anyone dealt with triglycerides dropped 200 points?

ApoB is the more informative number and it is cheap.

Omega-3 index improvement on the lipid panel: often overlooked but my omega-3 index went from 4.3% to 8.3% over 10 months. I supplemented with 2g EPA+DHA daily.

This matters because omega-3s are anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective, complementing the GLP-1 benefits. Target omega-3 index is >8%. Combined with the triglyceride reduction from the medication, my lipid profile is the best it's been in decades.

Careful with treating an unchanged LDL-C as a failure. If ApoB and triglycerides both fell, the particle picture improved regardless of what the calculated LDL says.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

Advanced lipoprotein testing on the lipid panel — going beyond standard lipid panel:

The shift from small dense to large buoyant LDL is particularly important — it represents a fundamental change in the atherogenic profile.

This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth.
