Recent Diabetes Findings
In 1993, the National Institutes of Health reported a study of people with type 1 diabetes. This
study was called the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial DCCT. It found that good blood
glucose control can reduce the risk of complications by about 60%. This helps protect the eyes,
kidneys, and nervous system from damage due to diabetes.
