Have you read Dr. Bernstein's "Diabetes Solution"? It outlines all the benefits of tighter control as well as giving you step by step instructions on how to achieve it.

I don't know if I knew they found that the study was flawed. I remember thinking that the results of the study didn't make sense, since tighter control HAS to be better.
Also, you make a great point about whether I had my A1c done before and after. I did have it done before, but can't find the results and so was going by my 2007 A1c and comparing it to this last one. So my number may have even higher than 7 and this current number may have indeed come down.
Thanks for making me think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |
