Near-normal glycemia reduces the risk of microvascular disease complications, but aggressive management of traditional cardiovascular risk factors (i.e., smoking cessation, treatment of dyslipidemia, intensive blood pressure control, antiplatelet therapy) is needed to reduce macrovascular disease risk. 

Early background retinopathy may reverse with improved glycemic control. More advanced disease will not regress with improved control and may actually worsen with short-term improvements in glycemia. 

Progression factors hasten decline in kidney function after initiation of kidney damage. Progression factors include glycemia in diabetics, hypertension, proteinuria, and smoking.

Patients with type 1 diabetes have virtually no functional p cells, can neither respond to variations in circulating fuels nor maintai basal secretion of insulin. This type of diabetic must rely exogenous insulin injected subcutaneously to control the hyp glycemia and ketoacidosis. Two therapeutic regimens are curre in use—standard and intensive insulin treatment.

No alteration of protein half-life has been detected with glycosylated albumin (39) and ferritin (51). However, Jones and Peterson (45) found that fibrinogen survival, which was reduced in diabetic patients with elevated glycemia, could be increased to normal value shortly after insulin therapy. This suggests that a labile Schiff base could play a role in the regulation of fibrinogen turnover.
