It appears that high glucose levels are bad, but high insulin levels are also bad. So drugs such as insulin and drugs like gliclazide which stimulate insulin production will lower blood glucose, but can lead to high levels of insulin in the body for those people with insulin resistance, typically type 2 diabetics. High insulin levels is associated with increased risk of heart disease, strokes and dementia.
So just looking at lowering blood sugar levels is not enough if you want long life. The way you achieve it is important, so intermittent fasting and a low carb diet may be more beneficial for sufferers of type 2 diabetes.
