Dr. LeWinter discusses the debate among medical professionals about the appropriate target for blood sugar control.
Dr. LeWinter:
You don’t want diabetes to be out of control, but a sort of longstanding debate is how tightly you want to keep the blood sugar down, and there’s a lot of disagreement about that at the present time. What should be the appropriate target for blood sugar control? Do you really want it very low or a little higher, but not, but obviously not in the range where the diabetes is way out of control. So that’s a big debate. I don’t think there is a good answer right now as to what’s the best way to go with that.
