Hi George:

How are you doing?

Yes, that was certainly a surprising result of that study.
So unfortunate for the deceased.

I was thinking, maybe these People would have died from
a heart attack even without being in the study. Sometimes
genes play a big role. Some People do have heart attacks at
a younger age.

There are so many Diabetics obsessed with getting the same
numbers as normal People in the low 4's and low 5's, especially
Type 1's. It is worrisome. We are made different, that is why
we are not normal, per se. No offense intended. Perhaps
Diabetics are somewhat protected in the 5.7-7.0 range. Who
knows?

"For now, the reasons for the higher death rate are up for
speculation. Clearly, people without diabetes are different from
people who have diabetes and get their blood sugar low."
Gee, who knew?

Thanks George.
