Diabetics warned over blood sugar
On November - 15 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
Almost 800,000 diabetics are risking blindness, heart disease and kidney failure because their blood sugar levels are not under control, figures have showed.
An analysis of more than two million diabetics aged over 17 in the UK found 34% (797,067) were not hitting their recommended blood glucose levels.
Keeping blood glucose levels to between 6.5% and 7.5% cuts the risk of long-term complications from the disease.
The research was released by Diabetes UK to mark World Diabetes Day.
