Here’s news. Tight control of diabetes using medications causes high rates of illness (what doctors call morbidity) and often death (what doctors call mortality). And using drugs to control blood sugar levels doesn’t stop the progression of the underlying disease process. I completely agree with these earth shaking findings (earth shaking if your business is selling drugs, it’s not good news that the drugs are often harmful and don’t stop the problem that kills the customer.). Controlling blood sugar levels with drugs does not stop the underlying destructive process of blood vessel damage. That’s why I spent the last 10 years of my professional life working to help patients with this diagnosis fix the problem. Not cover up the symptoms-fix the problem.
