And about the rather depressing statistic that David has mentioned, that a diabetic is prone to a hearth attack as much as a person who previously had an attack, I am inclined to look for a way out of it..: That statictic should have been derived from the number of all diabetics who have a heart attack, whereas the incidence /statistic should be different for the body of diabetics who achieve succesfull BG control. There are many diabetics who do not conform at all and who carry on with BG counts of 300 - 400 all the time. The hearth attack incidence of all those would fall under that gross statistic I guess, and, if we can control our diabetes succesfully we can believe that that comparison /risk status would not be valid for us.. |
