In the early days of insulin treatment for type 1 diabetes there was much debate as to whether strict control of hyperglycaemia would delay or prevent the long-term complications of diabetes. The work of Pirart [50] suggested that microvascular complications of diabetes were less likely to occur in individuals with better glycaemic control. The ...
The long-term complications associated with type 2 diabetes, like damage to your organs, can begin during prediabetes. So, despite the “pre,” it’s still a serious health condition.
Prediabetes is a component of metabolic syndrome and is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels that fall below the threshold to diagnose diabetes mellitus.It usually does not cause symptoms but people with prediabetes often have obesity (especially abdominal or visceral obesity), dyslipidemia with high triglycerides and/or low HDL cholesterol, and hypertension.

Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) is the diagnostic term applied when type 1 diabetes develops in adults; it has a slower onset than the same condition in children. Given this difference, some use the unofficial term "type 1.5 diabetes ...
Participants diagnosed with type 2 diabetes before age 50 were 1.9 times more likely to develop dementia. Receiving a diagnosis between ages 50 to 59 increased dementia risk 1.72 times, and ...
The standard of care for type 1 diabetes is a bolus of rapid-acting insulin 10–15 minutes before each meal or snack, and as-needed to correct hyperglycemia. [50] In addition, constant low levels of insulin are achieved with one or two daily doses of long-acting insulin , or by steady infusion by an insulin pump. [ 50 ]
Chronic hyperglycemia at above normal levels can produce a very wide variety of serious complications over a period of years, including kidney damage, neurological damage, cardiovascular damage, damage to the retina or damage to feet and legs. Diabetic neuropathy may be a result of long-term hyperglycemia. Impairment of growth and ...
Consuming more than 45% of daily calories after 5 p.m. can contribute to greater risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and chronic inflammation, a recent study suggests.
