Pages changed: Research Connecting Organ Damage to Blood Sugar Level
Diabetic Kidney Damage

Added reference to new 11-year study that found a straight line relationship between A1c and the risk of chronic kidney disease. The risk began to rise significantly as A1c rose over 6.0%.

The study is found here:
