its good glucose is still ok.
Triglycerides mean too many carbs for activity level. When liver glycogen is full, the liver repackages glucose into Trig (basically as fat) for use/storage by rest of body. switching calories from carb to fat would be good, even if calories remain the same and there isn't weight loss. legumes and nuts are good replacements for grain or processed food. Sugar is the worst. Probably the drugs are interfering to some degree with signaling to the liver of glucose stores in the body.
if you aren't taking fish oil or eating oily fish often, that is important too.
most likely the way extra fiber helps with lipoproteins is that it ferments to short-chain fatty acids and thus is effectivly a low calorie addition of fat (plus they're antiinflammatory) that replaces carbohydrate.
