Hi,

Non-pharmocologic methods include weight reduction, reduced carbohydrate and bad fat intake along with exercises. Take lot of fiber in diet.
Pharmacologic methods include statins or fibrate drugs. Take a prescription from your doctor.
The triglycerides are alarmingly high and needs to be under check.
