[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1623211, member: 196898"] Thanks for posting the abstract here. One thing that jumps out on me is the dichotomy on the wording. On one hand the results show that using a hypogenic drug increases mortality, but in the next sentence they say that therapies that do not involve hypoglycmia episodes is also raising the risk. So in other words whatever drug we use seems to be shortening our lives. Which some here would say is erflinger obvious. So the obvious conclusion I would draw is that if normal HbA1c is achieved by lifestyle changes only (i.e. as if we were normals) then thats the best remedy, Doctor. But my question echoes the thought made above - is diet change considered a lifestyle regime, or not if it is only transitory? So binge dieting would not be effective? [/QUOTE]
