“Glucose levels didn't change, but insulin levels were lower.”

My understanding is that high glucose levels in T2 diabetics are the primary source of damage to a person's organs and blood vessels. So, how much real benefit is there to lowering insulin levels without lowering glucose levels?

A1C is king when you’re trying to avoid organ damage. 7.0 or lower. Anything above that and you’re getting into dangerous territory.

How are glucose levels lowered? Drugs? Shots? Diet?
