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

Fortunately, I am not a meat eater. I do like an occasional piece of salmon, but right now I want to see if I can get my cholesterol down with diet and exercise. I know it will not effect my Lp(a). If my numbers don't start coming down significantly in a month or so, I will have to go on the statin. I have an appointment with my primary care doctor Tuesday and will find out my calcium score (fingers crossed, but I'm not expecting good results). How do you do with adding beans and maintaining good blood sugars? Thank you, Sue McMahon

Cooked beans and lentils have not had a noticeable effect on blood sugar, but they always combined with a wide variety of other vegetables, so they are only one part of the meal, much as a serving of meat would be. Even our pea soup is 1/3 green & yellow peas, 2/3 other vegetables like onions, carrots, celery & rutabaga.
