Can't get HDL to go up

Over the last  year I have been doing everything I can to elevate my HDL. I exercise for an hr. a day, have a high fiber low fat diet, do not smoke and take 1000mg of niaspan (I also take 40 mg of simvastatin.) For the longest time my HDL has been 33. I have reduced my LDL from 240 to 109.What's up with the HDL?
