Poorly controlled diabetes.
An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).

Certain medicines may also raise triglycerides. These medicines include:

Tamoxifen.
Steroids.
Beta-blockers.
Diuretics.
Estrogen.
Birth control pills.
Certain types of high cholesterol and high triglycerides are caused by genetics.
