[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1944945"] According to Jason Fung, blood concentration is only one measure of glucose toxicity and is not in itself a predictor of complications. More important is the level of glucose in the entire body...eyes, organs, tissues. I’m unsure if insulin by itself can be harmful, or rather that its presence is a marker of excessive glucose everywhere, and not just in the blood. Clearly I’m not in a position to comment on the veracity if his views, but there is apparently research which shows that good glucose control by itself is not associated with better long term health outcomes in those using hypoglycaemics and exogenous insulin.
