RESUMO
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) demonstrated that the improved control of blood glucose levels could delay or prevent long-term complications in patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). However, there are questions as to whether this degree of tight control is realistic in community settings. This review will cover new strategies for the management and prevention of IDDM.
