A newly released study has found that three aggressive treatments to prevent heart attacks among Type 2 diabetics could be more harmful than helpful to patients. Doctors have been trying three strategies to reduce the risk of heart attack for diabetics: getting blood pressure to a normal range; raising levels of good cholesterol and lowering levels of dangerous triglycerides; or modulating sharp upswings in blood sugar after a meal. Unfortunately, it has been found that each of those strategies either put patients at more risk of heart attack, or caused severe unwanted side effects without alleviating the heart problems. Doctors across the country expressed disappointment over the results of the study.
