Will lowering blood sugars protect against heart disease… or not?

A study with very mixed results was published earlier in the week. Lowering your bloodsugars may not protect against heart disease but will help with kidney disease down the road. This from the American Diabetes Association…

But what may be most important is what the study results have in common – patients with the lowest blood sugar levels had just as many heart problems as diabetics who did not keep as rigid a cap on their blood-sugar levels.

When results are confusing and contradictory like this- there is always backlash from patients. I think we need to remember what we have been taught and control our bloodsugars regardless of research like this.
