Fatal Blood Sugar
Fox News just reported on a Harvard study concluding that high blood sugar is among the world’s top five killers, even before it registers as diabetes! Goodarz Danaei, MD, of Harvard School of Public Health, and colleagues, state: “Our results show that one in five deaths from heart disease and one in eight from stroke worldwide are attributable to higher-than-optimum blood [sugar].”
The risk apparently increases the higher-above-normal the blood sugar levels climb. So many people are killed long before they get diabetes, the disease commonly associated with high blood sugar. The researchers estimated 3.16 million annual deaths worldwide caused by high blood sugar.
Wow! That is a startling number AND this is very important information to know. I did not realize how critical it was to being hyvin (well) to monitor and control blood sugar levels. Now I know.
