The numbers we like.
Martin Clinic’s preferred targets, using U.S. units.
| Marker | Preferred target | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| A1C | Under 5.0% 5.0–5.3%: excellent · 5.4%: upper cutoff | % |
| Triglycerides | Under 100 | mg/dL |
| HDL | Above 60 | mg/dL |
| Uric acid | 4.0–5.5 | mg/dL |
| hs-CRP | Under 1.0 | mg/L |
One more number: your TG/HDL ratio.
We calculate it when you enter both triglycerides and HDL. Divide triglycerides by HDL, both in mg/dL. Our preferred ratio is 1.0–2.0; under 1.0 is our ideal.
