More than one year at a non diabetic level. today my HbA1c test result is 32 (5,1) higher than the previous test, but this number is the best in my opinion. what do you think of this article?

I feel that the article is just re-stating the obvious - that too high or too low a value for all normal things in your bloodstream is not good for you.
There have been several studies which have shown that when you consider all cause mortality rathe than just Cardio Vascular causes, that higher than the recommended LDL cholesterol is actually (probably since they live longer) beneficial in the over 60's.

The link worked for me when I used copy & paste. That like you, not by clicking on it.

In the abstract of the article itself it doesn't mention how the lower HbA1c levels were achieved in those with T2 and in fact talking about "diabetes" without mentioning type is worrying for a start.
As studies have shown over-medicating T2's to low HbA1c levels is not a great idea.. achieving it through dietary changes seems however to bring multiple benefits.

Agree

Statistical studies should be around a hypothesis based on a scientific idea. There is no biochemistry argument here as far as I can see.
