Diabetes, young adults and alcohol: early death statistics

[Kaelan]

In fact, diabetics using oral drugs (T2s) only die at 1.71 rate:

@Michel

the adjusted MRRs for alcohol-related deaths were 1.71 for diabetic men treated with Oral Antidiabetic Drug [T2s] and 6.92 for those on insulin; the respective MRRs for diabetic women were 2.10 and 10.60.

So T2 male diabetics not using insulin die at 171% rate of normal, but male diabetics using insulin die at 692% rate of normal. So the difference must be alcoholic hypos (or mostly). That’s bad.
