[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 538156, member: 102150"] I saw Jenny Ruhl's segment on that Reversing Diabetes Summit and she said something that shocked me. She said that the studies showing increased morbidity for tight control (HBa1c under 6.5%) are flawed. Her points included: The studies compared deaths in the tight target group vs deaths in the loose target group, but the excess deaths were people who failed to meet the tight control goals of the group they were assigned to. A large proportion of the people studied were on a drug later claimed to cause fatal heart disease, and this was not factored out of the data retrospectively. The only other large study on this found no such correlation. I guess the detail is on her website.
