Diabetes is defined as a disease with high blood sugar.
The problem is that physicians are failing to determine how low blood glucose needs to be to protect patients against harmful diabetic complications.
In a series of published studies the definition of what constitutes diabetes, (or said differently, a person with high blood sugar) is about to be turned upside down. That means it is not just elevated fasting blood glucose that creates diabetic complications. Excess post-meal hyperglycemia have turned into a silent diabetes plague, this mandating new steps be taken to protect against what maybe the leading cause of premature death.
