Cholesterol Markers

This study evaluated the ratio of triglycerides to HDL as a preliminary marker of insulin resistance in non-obese individuals for both middle-age and elderly populations.  This is the best way to figure out if things are headed in the wrong direction even when you HgbA1c suggests that things are “ok”.  For the obese individuals, BMI was the best predictor.  It’s not all about your LDL, or the “bad cholesterol”.
