[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2085198, member: 41816"] Emile, You are not addressing a type 1 diabetic on insulin. Type 1s have an autoimmune condition that means their beta cells are being (or have been) killed off by their own immune system. Therefore, raised blood glucose is not going to do more damage to beta cells than their own body is already doing with its own immune system. Therefore, higher than normal blood glucose has (in some ways) a different effect for type 1s than for people with high numbers of beta cells. For those of us with non-autoimmune diabetes, pre-diabetes, or no diabetes, then the preservation of our existing beta cells is very important, and there is significant evidence that beta cells and organs can be cumulatively damaged by blood glucose levels above 7.8mmol/l For more information on this, the [URL="http://www.bloodsugar101.com"]www.bloodsugar101.com[/URL] website (which is aimed at type 2 diabetics) has an overview and explanation of this research. [URL]https://www.bloodsugar101.com/organ-damage-and-blood-sugar-level[/URL] The same website, has some very informative information on what is truly normal blood glucose for non-diabetics. [URL]https://www.bloodsugar101.com/what-is-a-normal-blood-sugar[/URL] People whose blood glucose does not fit these profiles (and there are many, many people eating the modern diet who do not fit these profiles) are at increased risk of metabolic syndrome, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. [URL]https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181128115045.htm[/URL] People may have blood glucose readings of 10 or 11 but that does not make it healthy. [/QUOTE]
