Tight Blood Sugar Control for Diabetic Patients is Ineffective
All the
guidelines for Diabetes from major physician organizations recommend that tight
blood sugar control (a HBA1C less than 7) should be a major goal for diabetic
patients. However, an article in the
highly respected journal, Circulation,
that analyzed all the scientific data concluded that tight glycemic control
didn’t prevent 10 out of the 11 micro and macro complications of diabetes,
including fatal heart attacks, strokes, retinopathy, kidney disease and
all-cause mortality. The only complication
prevented was nonfatal heart attacks.
Perhaps side effects from medications are playing a role. We should try using such supplements as
chromium, cinnamon, berberine, and BergaMet to achieve better control safely.

there was a typo, it should be BergaMet not bergmot as previously.
