Joelf Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Slightly elevated blood sugar tied to heart and kidney problems. People who have slightly elevated blood sugar that’s not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis may still have a higher risk of heart and kidney disease than individuals with normal blood sugar, a U.S. study suggests.

dimarzio Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Very interesting article Jo. 2 1/2 years after being dignosed with SSc, I have now been diagnosed full blown diabetic. As if the myriad of SSc symptoms is not enough, another set of problems to contend with! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joelf Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'm really sorry to hear that, Dimarzio. There does seem to be an awful lot of people diagnosed with diabetes these days. Best wishes, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dimarzio Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 The fact that we are all too podgy probably has something to do with it ,but I think there is more to it than that. Processed foods and chemicals maybe. I've managed to shed half a stone so far in a quest to get my glucose levels & BMI down. Will have to wait for the next Hba1c (hemoglobin) test to know. Not sure how much salad I can eat though before I start twitching like a rabbit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
