Are diabetes drugs can kill? This may be the lesson of a study presented at the recent convention of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in San Francisco. In the ACCORD study, more than 10,000 diabetic patients were randomly divided into two groups, one with intent to moderately reduce glucose levels in blood and another with intent to reduce them aggressively.
Aggressively treated patients had a much lower level of blood glucose (but still slightly above normal) than patients less medicated. After 3 years and 6 months, there were no differences between the two groups in the development of cardiovascular disease (one of the major complications of diabetes). Incredibly, those in the aggressively treated group had a 22 percent increase in risk of mortality.
Obviously, there was a lot of hands waving in the conference to try to explain these results. After all, it is well known that the reduction of blood glucose levels due to caloric restriction leads to a longer life cycle and greater overall health. So, in the opinion of Dr. Barry Sears, the answer is that the drugs used to lower blood glucose levels in diabetics involves a long-term toxicity. This is the sad part of modern medicine, especially in the treatment of diabetics, where drugs have become powerful treatment of the disease.
This is almost the opposite of the past when the diet was used as the main treatment for diabetes. Today, patients can eat what they want and just take more drugs.
