The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) demonstrated that intensive therapy reduced the development and progression of retinopathy in type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared with conventional therapy. The Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) study observational follow-up showed persistent benefits. In addition to glycemia, we now examine other potential retinopathy risk factors (modifiable and nonmodifiable) over more than 30 years of follow-up in DCCT/EDIC.

Management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is labor-intensive, requiring multiple daily blood glucose measurements and insulin injections. Patients are seen quarterly by providers, but evidence suggests more frequent contact is beneficial. Current technology allows secure, remote sharing of diabetes data and video-conferencing between providers and patients in their home settings.

A 50% to 80% basal rate reduction performed 90 minutes before beginning exercise will improve open-loop glucose control and decrease the risk for hypoglycemia during exercise in individuals with type 1 diabetes.

A new method of identifying warning signs of type 1 diabetes earlier may pave the way for methods that might prevent the condition from developing. US scientists from Stanford and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) say they can identify antibodies indicative of type 1 diabetes much earlier than traditional testing.

Adults with type 1 diabetes are more likely to develop cerebral small-vessel disease, and cerebral micro-bleeds, in particular, than those without diabetes, according to findings published in Diabetes Care. “Type 1 diabetes is associated with a fivefold increased risk of stroke, with cerebral small-vessel disease (SVD) as the most common etiology.”
