Reality Check for Type 2 Diabetes "Tight Control" Clinical Trials

In my opinion these "Tight Control" clinical trials were not very conclusive.

These studies were paid for by drug companies that are interested in selling there products. There "tight control" was eating very high amounts of carbs and trying to obtain "tight control" by using multiple drugs and insulin.

A very low carbohydrate diet (30 to 60 carbs a day) has been shown to give much lower glucose levels without increased risk of death.

This articles test methods basically promote eating all of the carbs that you want and balancing that with multiple drugs and insulin shots. These do not work because of the inevitable very high fluctuations in glucose levels that lead to hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and cardiovascular deteriation.

But do not ignore high blood pressure or cholesterol either. Control all three and a type 2 diabetic person can prevent all of the terrible potential consequences of diabetes. Just don't rely of on eating high levels of carbs and taking large doses of multiple medications and insulin as a treatment.

Exercise is also very important. Get at least 30 minutes of vigorous exercise at least five times a week.

Test your glucose levels two hours after meals and try to keep your levels in the 70 to 100 range at that time.

There are many excellent books and websites available on better treatment methods for diabetes that provide proof of there usefulness with published clinical trials. My favorite book is Dr. Richard Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution The Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars. A great website about diabetes control is http://bloodsugar101.com

Glucose levels.

I check my glucose level after waking and before eating, usually 8-10 hours. My glucose level at this time is mostly in the 130 -150 range. Random checks during the day show much lower levels: 100- 120. Is this unusual? I do not take medication for type 2 diabetes.

I have type 2

Low carb is the key and I find I eat more now than I ever did. I used to skip breakfast and sometimes lunch but if I want to do it right I should eat a good breakfast, snack before lunch, lunch, another snack before dinner, a snack before I go to bed. a numer of small nutrional helpings of food throughout the day is another route to take. I guess I've taken them all. I take oral pill and try to keep it in the right range on my monitor . Stress from working or from other things make my range go higher but I take that into consideration and work at bringing it back down. liz

Low carb diet is the key

If you have type 2 diabetes, then eat a low carb diet. It's simple and it works.

Other factors

What ia considered an acceptable blood pressure range for these people?

The study participants

I was wondering if all of the participants were on medications to control blood sugar, and also I was wondering what is considered high blood pressure and high cholesterol for a person with diabetes? Are these numbers different?

thank you.
