 Diabetes Monitor - the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial
The results of the DCCT (Diabetes Control and Complications Trial) were announced on June 13, 1993, in a two-hour session at the Annual Meeting of the American Diabetes Association, and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, 329(14), September 30, 1993.
Although the DCCT only included Type 1 patients, it is the intent of the American Diabetes Association to tell every patient with diabetes about the DCCT results, and offer everyone the opportunity to start a "tight control" diabetes program to prevent complications.

Diabetes insipidus is often called "water diabetes" to set it apart from "sugar diabetes." The cause and treatment are not the same as for diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes occurs when the body cannot make use of the glucose in the blood for energy because either the pancreas is not able to make enough insulin or the insulin that is available is not effective.

 Diabetes Insight - The Diabetes Control & Complications Trial
The Diabetes Control and Cornplications Trial (DCCT) was a 10 year study involving 1441 people with insulin dependent diabetes throughout the USA and Canada.
The DCCT proved that tight blood glucose control prevents or delays the onset of complications.
Every bit of improvement m your diabetes control goes some way towards lessening the risk of complications, and is even worthwhile for those who already have complications.

 The Diabetes Control & Complications Trial
People with diabetes worldwide owe much to their 1441 American comrades' who took part in the DCCT because the message from the study is one of great optimism.
For the individual with diabetes it may mean accepting the health care professional as a partner rather than an adversary and seeing improved diabetes control (in the broadest sense) as a challenge to be met with the professional partner rather than as a conflict to be waged against.
The DCCT results do not, by themselves, reduce diabetic complications but they show the way forward The study was about 'controlling' diabetes but the benefits were achieved by 'understanding and caring' for people.

 Diabetes Control and Complications Trial and follow-up study - SJMMC, Ann Arbor, Michigan MI
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) is a 10-year study of people with type 1 diabetes.
Tightly controlled blood sugar does not decrease the buildup of fat (plaque) in the artery in the neck (carotid artery), a sign of atherosclerosis that leads to heart and blood vessel disease.
Tightly controlled blood sugar does slow the progress of eye disease (diabetic retinopathy) and kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) by 35% to 90%, compared with conventional treatment.

 Diabetes Complications
Even the very best control may not be able to eliminate all complications, and the risk of increases with the length of time you have diabetes.
Diabetes can affect the lens, which focuses light reflected from objects, the vitreous, a clear jelly-like substance through which light passes from the lens to the retina, and the retina, where images are formed and translated into electric impulses for interpretation by the brain.
Diabetic nephropathy is a complication of long-term diabetes that results in damage to the bundles of capillaries that form the kidneys' filtering system.

 The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial
The largest, most comprehensive diabetes study ever conducted, the DCCT involved 1,441 volunteers with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 29 medical centers in the United States and Canada.
Diabetic kidney disease is the most common cause of kidney failure in the United States and the greatest threat to life in adults with IDDM.
In the DCCT, the most significant side effect of intensive treatment was an increase in the risk for low blood sugar episodes severe enough to require assistance from another person.
