Type 2 diabetes: the role of insulin.

Diabetes mortality rates continue to escalate despite advances in therapy and more aggressive management guidelines promulgated by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American College of Endocrinology (ACE). The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study Groups (UKPDS) trials have clearly demonstrated the benefits of intensive diabetes control, and an increasing body of evidence has been focused on the contribution of post-prdndial glucose (PPG) levels to elevated levels of glyco-sylated hemoglobin A1C. Moreover, the results of large, randomized, controlled clinical trials such as these have clearly demonstrated that improved glycemic management is associated with reductions in the microvascular complications, specifically retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy, that are associated with inadequately managed diabetes.
