Age spots have been proposed to be the result of glycation, the accumulation of Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs) from interaction of glucose and heat with the collagen in skin, causing melanin deposits with the process being cumulative over time and accentuated by sun exposure. Is that the major cause of age spots?

You have told us that management of diabetes by using approaches to keep glucose levels in a low to moderate range was more a feel-good exercise than a true contribution to preventing complications of the disease like metabolic syndrome, or reduced longevity. Yet, studies are mounting showing accumulation of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) contribute to aging and reduced longevity. Is it simply the case that moderating blood sugar levels is not effective because glucose is ever-present and necessary to supply needed energy, so reducing high glucose levels is just controlling the tip of an iceberg?
