Re: The Ticking-Clock Hypothesis?

Jenny: Most of the time the A1c is accurate. Thats what most Docs are
trained to interpret. Yes there are exceptions but it is the most
objective measure that we have for the larger (95%) population of
diabetics. Now to my point... Metabolic Syndrome patients who also
developes Type 2 Diabetes compared to otherwise healthy T2s diagnosed
in mid 60s+ age for example is like comparing apples and oranges. Is it
accurate to say that an otherwise healthy 65 yr old marathon runner
recently diagnosed with mild T2 (aside from limited longevity due to
age alone) is in the same bowl of fish as an overweight, hypertensive
T2 in terms of mortality. I say that the former may have glycemia
excursions and a pretty normal A1C for the right reasons while the
latter may also have a pretty normal A1c for reasons you state. I think
we may be talking about different T2 populations that should be mixed
up..
