Anyone else out there with extremely high lipoprotein (a)?

What I have read is that statins can increase lp(a) and also FBG. Am I right or wrong on this?

There is some conflicting information online, but most apparently indicates that studies support that statins do not meaningfully increase lp(a).

Here one such review ... I am not a medical professional.

You are right,
Statins can have the side effect to higher LPA dramatically.
My husband is off the statins now since a few weeks, decided to pass on Repatha, after 2 shots, to see how his lab turns out in a few weeks.
We will keep you updated.
