Too careful control of blood sugar levels may increase the risk of premature death in people suffering from type II diabetes, as it turned out during the study. And among patients who regularly take insulin, this risk is even higher. Scientists from the School of Medicine at the University of Cardiff offer physicians take it easy with a decrease blood sugar their diabetic patients. True to this statement agree not all scientists. Some believe that the diabetics in any case can not pay less attention to the control of sugar. They should strive to reduce this level by any means, including various medications, insulin or lifestyle changes.
Researchers at Cardiff University believe that the decline blood sugar "all possible means" may go too far. And it not only does not help the patient with Type II diabetes , But in general even able to kill him. Researchers studied nearly 28,000 diabetics treated with a combination of drugs metformin and sulfonylurea. Nearly 20 thousand people take insulin.
The risk of death among patients with the lowest blood sugar level (HbA1 6, 4%) was 52% higher than those maintained this level to the middle level (HbA1 7, 5%). However, in diabetics with elevated sugar It was higher risk of death by 79%. Experts recommend that a middle ground - not too reduce the sugar, but does not run it level.
