USA Today (April 21, 2009) reports that "doctors may be urging their Type 2 diabetes patients to maintain blood-sugar goals that are too strict, suggests an article in this week's Annals of Internal Medicine."
The authors of the journal study reviewed several trials of people with Type 2 diabetes and noted that, in their opinion, the patients are "burdened with complex treatments, hypoglycemia, weight gain and costs."
The authors go on to say that treatment concerning A1C level should be on a case-by-case basis, and not a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. They suggest that physicians focus more on supporting healthy habits, preventive care and reducing cardiovascular risks as well as individualizing patients' A1C targets.
