Your doctor should be able to advise you about this and I think that it is highly likely that mrsD and madisongrrl can be helpful as well.

Thanks much, kiwi.
The diet you described is the diet I changed to in 2014. I eat tons of fresh vegetables, next to no processed food or grains, lean protein, salmon once a week, no added sugar, etc, etc... And still, you can see my Ldl. The only thing I feel I can improve on is exercise. I used to get a ton when I didn't work...now, not so much except on weekends. I need to work on this.
Also despite this diet and despite my blood sugar being under 90 the vast majority of the day, my A1c is creeping up.
My test results seem to give me more questions than answers.
