I am an Indian senior citizen and a 30 years type2 diabetic. Vegetarian who does not smoke or drink. Do moderate exercise. No matter what medicines I am on, Glimipride, Metmorphin etc my FBS does not come below 150. My Ayurvedic doctors say not to worry until it hits 200. I totally agree. I have my retina examined twice yearly. Had cataract surgery in both eyes and there are no signs of neuropathy.
My conclusion is that European/American pharmaceutical companies are setting newer, lower limits all the time to sell their products. same story with statins.
I do not see any race and age based studies in this regard.
