HDL cholesterol and blood sugar (Blutzucker) are two key but distinct biomarkers. HDL is often called 'good' cholesterol because it transports excess cholesterol to the liver. Low HDL (<40 mg/dL in men, <50 mg/dL in women) is a cardiovascular risk factor. Fasting blood sugar should ideally be below 100 mg/dL; higher values may indicate impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes. Both are strongly influenced by diet, exercise, and body weight. Elevated blood sugar can lower HDL, so they should be considered together. Note: MyBody-X tests provide these values as lifestyle information, not medical diagnosis. If values are abnormal, consult a physician. Evidence: general practice; no specific study in the provided context.
