Mad as hell podcast

You mentioned that you would include a link to Diabetes charts for hazard risks for strokes and heart attacks as hba1c goes higher, but I can’t seem to find a link for those charts. Could you point me to those charts

I checked the show links and didn’t see this either. Richard refers to it often.

I want to show it to my father who thinks he is totally cured from diabetes because he is on metformin, and he can eat all the sugar he wants because of the miracle drug. His hba1c is still above 7 which to my knowledge he is still at risk for CV events and diabetes complications.

I did find these charts, but not sure if they are the same ones Richard was referring to.

I sent this to Mark on Twitter, but for the record the UK Prospective Diabetes Study has a lot of this information.

I got the numbers slightly wrong on the podcast.

37% vascular disease
21% diabetic complications
14% Heart attacks
