More on the DCCT Report

Lots more discussion and hallway talk about the follow-up from the DCCT study. The results beg many more questions:

• What could intensive control possibly do over a six year period that would have such a dramatic effect on cardiovascular disease 10 years later?
• Do these results apply to people with type 2 diabetes who generally have more cardiovascular disease and other co-morbid conditions?
• Are the results confined to people with type 1 diabetes who are younger and have not as yet developed significant cardiovascualr disease?
