ABSTRACT
The global diabetes surge poses a critical public health challenge, emphasizing the need for effective glycemic control. However, rapid correction of chronic hyperglycemia can unexpectedly trigger microvascular complications, necessitating a reevaluation of the speed and intensity of glycemic correction. Theories suggest swift blood sugar reductions may cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and neurovascular changes, resulting in complications. Healthcare providers should cautiously approach aggressive glycemic control, especially in long-standing, poorly controlled diabetes. Preventing and managing these complications requires a personalized, comprehensive approach with education, monitoring, and interdisciplinary care. Diabetes management must balance short and long-term goals, prioritizing overall well-being. This editorial underscores the need for a personalized, nuanced approach, focusing on equilibrium between glycemic control and avoiding overcorrection.
