The American College of Physicians has issued less strict guidelines for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, but some doctors and groups like the American Diabetes Association stand by accepted practices:
Major Medical Associations Feud Over Diabetes Guidelines
A major medical association today suggested that doctors who treat people with Type 2 diabetes can set less aggressive blood sugar targets. But medical groups that specialize in diabetes sharply disagree.
Half a dozen medical groups have looked carefully at the best treatment guidelines for the 29 million Americans who have Type 2 diabetes and have come up with somewhat differing guidelines.
The American College of Physicians has reviewed those guidelines to provide its own recommendations [open, DOI: 10.7326/M17-0939] [DX], published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. It has decided that less stringent goals are appropriate for the key blood sugar test, called the A1C.

The science many of our dietary truths or realities (of the general public) are based on appears to be so flawed that it could almost be called folk tales. See "Cholesterol - Le Grand Bluff" or "Sugar - The Bitter Truth"(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM [youtube.com]) to get an idea about what's going wrong.
