Blood glucose control: where are we?

AbstractHyperglycemia is a hallmark of diabetes mellitus, however, the significance of blood glucose control in patients with diabetes has only been investigated relatively recently in the long history of diabetes. Through the well-known Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), Kumamoto and United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) studies, intensive blood glucose control indeed significantly prevented or delayed the development and/or progression of microangiopathies in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, however, the effects on macroangiopathy were not certain in both populations.
