If you are at 5.5 that is just fine. No need to worry about it.
Diabetics who are hard to control, can get high like 13!
I knew a 40 yr old nurse recently diagnosed who was very happy with 8.5! and that is still too high!
You might see in 5-10 yrs however it goes up even tho you are doing the correct diet things. That is what is happening to me.
As we get old, things change. I think metabolic syndrome is inherited to some extent. Some error in the metabolism of citrate.
You might want to watch this video (it is long) but it explains how sugar and fructose ruin our metabolism:
