I don’t think you have to put up a disclaimer when linking a study published in a mainstream journal.
I will push back when I don’t think a study is adding value. I think the limitations of this study really impact its usefulness.
Given how few people are actually hitting the 7% A1c goal, I have knee jerk reactions to studies that focus on hypoglycemia. Some doctors seem obsessed with hypos while their patients are suffering from complications resulting from targeting high bg levels in order to avoid mild hypos.
I think studies like this can feed those perceptions. Hence my referring to it as scaremongering.
