yes. i think so. critically-ill patients that were given insulin to control the amount of glucose in their blood lived longer and/or were healthier than those who didn't receive the insulin treatments. the patients who received the treatments also had elevated cholesterol levels. researchers believe that is the higher cholesterol levels which are responsible for the benefits and not controlled blood glucose, as was first speculated.
