I think you have, and will continue, to beat the odds. I think, and my opinion and a dollar will you get you a plain cup of coffee at your local coffee shop, many things are affected by the very foods we eat. I believe your diet of real foods and reduced or eliminated processed foods is very much in your favor for many ailments. I think you should discuss with someone on your medical team about your meds and any interactions with each other and their effects on your body, ie the raising of trigs. What else could they be doing individually or in conjunction with others. Then you can take a deep breath, relax, and reduce the freaking out.
Triglycerides
One of the many complications associated with diabetes are heart diseases. Although cholesterol is making all the news, triglycerides probably play a bigger role. Insulin resistance may play a part in that by not letting the body utilize glucose properly, with excess being converted to triglycerides and eventually stored as fat for future use.
Here is an article from Doc' Opinion (a cardiologist in Iceland) that tells a little about triglycerides and offers some what to do about it info.

I use cinnamon in my coffee every morning, heaped 1/2 tspn because I like the taste. I take a turmeric supplement, garlic supplement, and use the spices you mention. I use 1-2 TBS apple cider vinegar with a couple of TBS olive and flaxseed oil as salad dressing. I don't know if they help or not, but I take them because they are supposed to. My cardiologist had me switch from fish oil to krill oil, both are supposed to help raise HDL.
His explanation was "it works better"
