Dr. Jaiwant Rangi says it's never too late to improve diabetes outcomes. Better blood sugar control, even after years of disease, cuts the risk of heart attacks, kidney disease, and nerve damage. He compares it to slowing a train: earlier is better, but slowing it later still prevents further damage.

That's a great question because there are a lot of people who might think that I have had diabetes for 10 to 15 years, it's too late for me, or should— can I still do something to protect myself? So the truth is, never too late. You can always do something to improve your health outcomes down the road. So even if someone has lived with diabetes for many years, improving sugars can still control them to help improve their outcomes so they can have much less heart attack risk. They can lower the risk of kidney disease. They can lower the risk of effect on the nerves and the eyes. And overall, improve the energy and overall health. It's like slow-moving train, right? The earlier you slow it down, the better it is. Even slowing it down later still prevents further damage.
