Controlling ones diabetes by controlling blood sugar is essential to living a healthy life, but in focusing entirely on blood sugar, you can also be neglecting the most important treatment for saving lives, lowering the cholesterol level. That protects against heart disease, which eventually kills nearly everyone with diabetes.

You could also be missing a second treatment that protects diabetes patients from heart attacks, controlling blood pressure. Just lowering blood sugar level would not take care of everything.

Blood sugar control is important in diabetes, specialists say. It can help prevent dreaded complications like blindness, amputations and kidney failure. But controlling blood sugar is not enough. So take heed.
