The researchers at the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting in San Francisco on Saturday asserted that bringing down the blood sugar levels of diabetic patients aggressively can actually save them from other health complications like heart attacks and kidney disease.

According to researchers, bringing down blood sugar levels to 6.5 per cent reduces severe complications. The kidney diseases can be cut by 21 per cent while it can cut heart diseases by 30 per cent. The overall complications of diabetes are cut by 10 per cent.

Presenting the findings of the study at the American Diabetes Association meeting in San Francisco, Dr. Anushka Patel of the University of Sydney, said, ''These findings reinforce that blood glucose lowering in diabetes is safe and has an important role to play in prevention of serious complication.”

But, in Medical arenas, the experts warn, if a patient's blood sugar lowers drastically, it could have serious problems including coma. The researchers involved in the current study, however, felt that it’s safe, if the patient is under constant supervision.
