More diabetic drugs may cause more deaths
The results of Accord study showed, that tight control of diabetes cause more deaths. So more drugs — more deaths! The explanation might be as follows: taking diabetic meds can change our body’s reaction to low blood sugar levels, resulting in increased mortality, because low sugar level is much more dangerous the high. This fact does not mean, that we should avoid medications altogether. The solution of 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. Of course, this strategy cannot be applied to type 1 diabetics, and treatment should be under physician’s supervision only.
