Lowering that insulin may change your lipid numbers.

Fish oil is really good for lowering triglycerides.

The LDL... well... there are two LDL's. One is less problematic than the other. Also there is a test for Lipo-a.

( I had this test to get the doctor off my back, with my borderline LDL's--I refuse statins at every visit.)
Lipo-a, is a genetic condition, if you test normal or low you don't have to repeat it. When low or normal there is less risk.
