David Spero, RN, Makes the Case for Tight Blood SugarControl

…at Diabetes Self-Managment.

Reduce retinopathy risk with good blood sugar control

David writes:

Two famous studies showed that tight control of glucose did not cause a statistically significant reduction in heart attacks or early death. But roughly 20 years after the studies ended, tight control subjects are living longer and healthier than those who were in the comparison groups.

Those two famous studies, however, did originally show evidence of better eye, nerve, and kidney function via good control.
