How much control is too much in type 1 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes mellitus affects thousands of children, and causes high sugar levels because of low insulin production. In places with good access to medical care, blood glucose is first measured by capillary blood testing or continuous monitoring. Insulin is given as required by subcutaneous injection or insulin pump.
Doctors have long recommended intensive control of blood sugar to reduce the frequency of complications. However, a new study reveals that somewhat less keeping blood glucose at moderate levels is just as useful, while being much less burdensome.
A new study looked at the association between blood glucose levels and risks of organ impairment in people with type 1 diabetes. The study titled 'HbA1c level as a risk factor for retinopathy and nephropathy in children and adults with type 1 diabetes: Swedish population based cohort study', is published in the current issue of the BMJ (British Medical Journal).
