Controlling your diabetes is necessary, but the studies show it does not reduce your chances of heart disease, and in this study of those working to maintain their sugar levels, the death rate was higher, go figure on this one. Cholesterol and blood pressure treatments are still the best methodologies…along with exercise and losing weight if needed.
The studies were middle aged people who had been diagnosed quite a while back, so they were not dealing with a brand new diagnosed group of people. So much for the Cardio-diabetes 2 relationship, at least for now. BD
The results provide more details and bolster findings reported in February, when one of the studies, by the National Institutes of Health, ended prematurely. At that time, researchers surprised diabetes experts with the announcement that study participants who were rigorously controlling their blood sugar actually had a higher death rate than those whose blood sugar control was less stringent.
