The results of an Accord study showed that tight control of diabetes may actually be causing more deaths. So more drugs can equal more deaths!
The explanation might be as follows: taking diabetic medications can change our body’s reaction to low blood sugar levels, resulting in increased mortality. A low sugar level is much more dangerous than a high level.
This fact does not mean that we should avoid medications altogether. The solution to the problem for Type 2 diabetics might be weight reduction first, as well as measures to decrease insulin insensitivity, and gentle use of sugar lowering agents.
Hormone replacement therapy may be of value as well. Of course, this strategy cannot be applied to type 1 diabetics, and as always, treatment should be under physician’s supervision only.
