Tight Glycemic: control helps prevent diabetic complications like kidney disease, heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, retinal disease, and infections by preventing spikes in blood sugar which cause damage to blood vessels which degrade multiple organ systems. This helps meaningfully extend both the quality and duration of life for diabetics. Hope this helps!
