Normal blood sugar does not mean you are fine: - A lot of people have normal fasting blood sugar and high CRP, which is just as bad for you long term and can predict a future heart attack - hsCRP is the best marker of cardiovascular inflammation, first linked to heart disease in the Framingham study - Levels rise with age and inflammation and track with mortality - Ask your doctor for the high sensitivity reading, not just glucose - To bring it down: change the diet, eat less, eat more vegetables.
