Previous JDRF research has proven that there is a link between glucose control and both the onset and progression of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic neuropathy (eye disease, nerve disease and kidney disease). We also know that there are significant benefits of intensive glucose management in reducing cardiovascular disease.
Fortunately, the risk of developing diabetes-related health complications continues to decrease. However, normal blood glucose level control can still be very difficult to achieve and the management of diabetes remains a difficult daily task for people with type 1 diabetes as well as their loved ones.
