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.
There are also others things besides diet and exercise that drive that LDL particle count - thyroid, stress, infections etc. Plus you haven't yet figured out a root cause for yours SFN and for all you know, that could be driving those numbers.

You have a tightrope to walk with your insulin issues. And high insulin can drive that your particle count up as well. I was thinking maybe you had some genetics at play, but you are not an ApoE4. I'm stumped....
