Type 2 diabetes patients experiencing blood sugar swings at higher risk of heart disease ANI | Updated: Feb 04, 2021 10:06 IST
Washington [US], February 4 (ANI): A new study suggested that patients with type 2 diabetes experiencing big swings in blood sugar levels between doctors visits are associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
The findings of the study were published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism . The study looked at more than 29,000 patients with type 2 diabetes over a two-year period. Patients who already had heart disease were excluded.
The American Diabetes Association recommends adults with diabetes maintain an A1c, the average blood sugar level over the past two to three months, of less than 7 percent to reduce complications from diabetes, such as heart disease.
