High blood sugar levels add to heart disease, strokes, and death

Scientists in the United States and New Zealand have calculated that in addition to the 960,000 diabetes deaths worldwide each year, raised blood sugar levels are linked to 1.5 million deaths from heart disease and 700,000 from strokes.

Too many people are dying as a result of their blood glucose being elevated even though many may well be below the clinical threshold of what is considered diabetes.
The findings were published in The Lancet medical journal which put the total mortality figure from high blood sugar at 3.1 million. (Diabetes Strokes)
