It shows that with T2D, your risk for coronary is more than ten times higher than for people without T2D (and for metabolic syndrome, it is still 6 times as high), while for higher lipids, the risks, for the most part, less than 2 times as high (where anything under a hazard ratio below 2.0 in an epidemiological study according to the Bradford-Hill criteria might just be coincidental).So, personally -- if I had to choose I would definitely choose lower blood sugar levels over lower blood lipids.<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E2J5fIKXoAgs0JR?format=jpg&name=900x900" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
