Lightbulb my take...

at a glucose of FIVE you'd be unconscious, (or dead).
This has to be a lab error.

ALT may rise because of drugs.
It may also rise with metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance)
It will rise with viral infection, including Hep C

If you are on Cymbalta, this would be a red flag test. Same with statins.
Time to change drugs.

Your numbers for ALT aren't that high..to be worried yet. Just retest.

I had a mild ALT elevation due to Claritin, once.
