Overview
Long-Term Diabetes Findings.
In 1993 the National Institutes
of Health concluded an exten-
sive long-term study of people
with Type 1 diabetes. This study,
called the Diabetes Control and
Complications Trial (DCCT), found
that by keeping your blood glucose
close to the levels of people with-
out diabetes you can reduce the
risk of complications involving
the eyes, kidneys, and nervous
system by approximately 60%.

What This Means for You.
Frequent blood glucose testing
is the best means you have for
keeping track of how well you are
doing with the factors that affect
your diabetes—medication, diet,
exercise, and stress management.
Blood glucose test results can also
tell you whether your diabetes is
changing in ways that might
require an adjustment to your
treatment plan. Always consult
your healthcare professional
before making any adjustments.
