Well, wouldn't you know it?? The ACCORD program (the protocol that I have been in for about 3 years (I'm in the standard group, not the intensive), well, it's in hot water.

People died, and for the life of me, I can't find exactly why when I read the article. I also received (via dispatch), a letter from the ACCORD people indicating that they are stopping the intensive program and moving everybody from the intensive program into the standard program. It doesn't involve anyone in the intensive blood pressure part of the program.

So someone read this and explain why the people died. By the way, I am not on any oral meds. Just the Lantus, which went from 46 units down to 26 (which I am now presently on)

Please?? I just got this off of my MSN homepage.
