Basically, blood pressure and cholesterol are the most important factors. We (medical team and I) were working on that at the time of diabetes diagnosis. However, we couldn’t get the blood pressure where it needed to be UNTIL I got my blood sugar under control. When I got down to under 7.0, it was like “pop” the blood pressure normalized as did the cholesterol.
The notes on hypoglycemic makes sense too — having been through a few of those events (mostly on injections rather than on pump), they can’t be good for you either long term OR short term.
