[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 702801, member: 91575"] Any chance of providing a link to this. I have googled it and can not find any reference to this.....according to Wikipedia:- "The authors of the study featured the benefits of close control — clearly reduced eye, kidney, and nerve damage — in their conclusion. This supports the clinical value of tighter control afforded by multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion combined with lower blood glucose targets and lower HbA1C goals. Prior to the DCCT, there simply was no medical proof that the additional burden of intensive insulin therapy over the convenience of fewer shot per day with conventional insulinotherapy was worth the tradeoff".... The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), was a landmark medical study with a total 1,441 participants between 1983 and 1989, followed up until 1993...... Maybe I am looking at the wrong trial...... [url]http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_control_and_complications_trial[/url] [/QUOTE]
