  • Title: [The effect of metabolic control on the development of late complications of diabetes (author's transl)].
    Author: Willms B.
    Journal: MMW Munch Med Wochenschr; 1977 Apr 15; 119(15):482-8. PubMed ID: 405563.
    Abstract:
    The fate of the diabetic today is essentially determined by the late complications of diabetes. Of the forms of clinical expression of diabetic microangiopathy, nephropathy and retinopathy are the most significant. Findings are presented which suggest that diabetic microangiopathy is not of genetic or immunologic origin, but is to be considered a consequence of insulin deficiency. More recently, some studies have been carried out which which strongly support the concept that metabolic control of the diabetic prevents or at least delays the development of late complications of diabetes. For this reason an optimal for control of diabetes, if at all possible with aglycosuria, should be aimed at.
