5.2 is not "high", even 140 is normal by conventional ranges, though that could be better. Optimal per Cholesterol Clarity is 70.

Bernstein used to want the A1C to be below 5. Maybe that is no longer the prevailing thinking? I know that the triglycerides made a big splash when it was recommended to get them under 100 a few years' back. They didn't change the clinical guidelines. Maybe it was just a Lovaza thing? I'm upset about the cholesterol being so low but if it's due to simple weight loss that would make more sense. |
