In order to reduce the Cardiovascular complications in Diabetes, it is necessary to control cholesterol and blood pressure rather than controlling blood sugar, which reduces kidney and eye complications. This is what researches have found that are conducted on patients of Type-2 Diabetes.
Intense control of blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes helps reduce the risk of kidney and eye complications, but not cardiovascular risks such as heart attacks and strokes, researchers said at a news briefing during the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association in San Francisco.
Hemoglobin A1c is a measure representing average blood glucose control for the previous three months. The American Diabetes Association recommends A1c levels of less than 7%. People without diabetes have an A1c of about 5%.
Lowering blood glucose levels does help reduce kidney and eye complications from diabetes, but paying attention to blood pressure and cholesterol levels is crucial to reduce the heart attack and stroke-related risks that accompany a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, researchers from both studies say.
If you want to manage cardiovascular risks, focusing on blood pressure and lipids is likely where the money is. Therefore it is not only to control blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure should also be kept in control in Diabetes.
