In the absence of extenuating social or medical circumstances that make prevention of long-term complications irrelevant . terminal illness or infeasible . inability of the patient to cooperate with a complex care program the third level should be the standard of care for people with diabetes. The effectiveness of good glycemic control in slowing or preventing the development of diabetic retinopathy nephropathy and neuropathy has been demonstrated in several well-controlled clinical trials and is beyond question. Whether good glycemic control has a beneficial effect on the risk of atherosclerosis and its clinical manifestations remains controversial. In this chapter we will illustrate that improved glycemic control is beneficial for reducing the risk of .
