Diabetes needs to be reclassified as a "death illness" rather than just a glycemic control anomaly. A significant factor in the decline in life expectancy in diabetic individuals is macrovascular disease, particularly cardiovascular disease. Blood pressure, blood lipids, cholesterol, and glucose control should all be the focus of treatment for diabetic patients. The following treatment goals for type 2 diabetes are specified by the International Diabetes Federation European Policy Group: glycated hemoglobin 6.5%, blood pressure 140/85 mm Hg, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol 3.0 mmol/L (115 mg/dL), and triglycerides 1.7 mmol/L (150 mg/dL).
