Fish oil should help with the Trigs, I think. Check out Dr. Davis's blog. I suspect if you solve the Trig problem your pattern will shift more towards A. How the Vit. D3 status? Thyroid?

I was fasting, yes. I am not sure why my trigs are still high. They have come down since starting LC but should be farther down by now. I take a ton of supplements, including fish oil. My vitamin D3 status was good--58. I have not raised my carbs, I am eating roughly 25-30 g net per day. I think I am going to investigate the thryoid angle as that seems to be linked. My current doctor does not seem willing to do the needed testing to determine if there is an issue, so I may need to go to a doctor who specializes in thyroid and pay out of pocket.
