Article - "Maintaining Target Hemoglobin A1c Less than 6% May Increase Mortality in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes"


... gonna try something new and just post as thoughts come to mind.
Post titles may be kinda shit or boring as a result ... but away we go!


"Maintaining Target Hemoglobin A1c Less than 6% May Increase Mortality in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes"

TL:DR:IMO

  • both studies referred to in the CVS article are unpublished.  Very helpful, thanks.A
  • in the ACCORD trial, more meds ("combinations of diabetes medications") showed "slightly higher rate of death"
  • in the ADVANCE trial, "no evidence of increased mortality with intensive glucose-lowering"
  • so, more meds may result in more death as compared to fewer meds ... whoopty-fucking-doo.

Until the studies themselves are published, I think we're done here ... move along, nothing more to see.

-tak!  thbbft!
