Thank you for the information. What I see as the gist of the article is that intensive efforts to lower blood sugar in patients with other serious conditions or risks may increase the number of deaths in this group.
Further the article points out that the intensive treatment was lower blood sugar levels “below” current recommendations. Why this would be done in high risk patients isn’t stated but it seems rather curious.
Having a dead patient with a “good” blood sugar level doesn’t seem a successful outcome to me, but then I’m no physician.
My first fasting glucose was over 400. I had blurred vision, diabetic retinopathy, and significant nerve damage.
I was able to restore my fasting glucose numbers to almost normal ranges without losing weight, exercise or massively changing my diet (THREE YEARS AGO).
I have since calibrated the total restoration process and now my HbA1c and lipids are normal. BP is 105 over 65.
I take NO MEDICATIONS.
