"The improvements we found might seem small, . . . . "

My blog from October 7th reported on better control of blood sugar, and hence reducing the impact of diabetes, by the lead researcher Dr Ron Segal. Since that blog Dr Ron has issued a couple of quotes which are worth repeating.

"The improvement might seem small, but they are clinically significant. A 1% drop in Hemoglobin A1c reduces the risk of a major cardiovascular event such as stroke or heart attack by 15% to 20% and blindness, kidney failure, or amputations by 25% to 40%."

The other Dr Ron quote: "Our study demonstrates that people with Type 2 diabetes who want to maximise their glucose control and reduce their risk of long-term complications, should consider a combination of both aerobic and resistance training like weight lifting."

Details on the aerobic and resistance training used by Dr Ron in the research into alleviating Type 2 Diabetes.
