Unfortunately, it is quite possible that just reducing blood glucose is not the answer. It doesn’t solve what is going on that causes the high numbers in the first place.
If you read medical journals, check out the article “Oral Hypoglycemics and Diabetic Nephropathy” by Nortin Hadler in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. (3: 159-162, 2008)

Just tried, but can’t even get the abstract, without subscription to CJASN. Could you please post the abstract or summarize?
I tend to agree with your statement: “Unfortunately, it is quite possible that just reducing blood glucose is not the answer. It doesn’t solve what is going on that causes the high numbers in the first place.”
I tend to think that high blood sugar is a symptom, and treating the symptom doesn’t cure the disease.
