Comment on Lachin et al. The Beneficial Effects of Earlier Versus Later Implementation of Intensive Therapy in Type 1 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2021;44:2225–2230
Diabetes Tips, News & Articles
The article by Lachin et al. (1) in a recent issue of Diabetes Care used the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) (2) and the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) (3) data set to model a 10-year period of early intensive glucose control and to demonstrate that this is more effective at reducing the subsequent risk of diabetes complications than an equivalent period of glucose control implemented later after diagnosis. The modeling provides compelling evidence to support the introduction of intensive glucose control soon after diagnosis (1,4).
