Intensive

| |
Long-term follow-up data from a landmark trial
indicates that intensive glycaemic control reduces the risk of
long-term hypertension compared to conventional control (National
electronic Library for Medicines) |

Self-monitoring
of blood glucose (SMBG) and glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes |
| |
The use of SMBG was not associated with improved
glycaemic control in any therapy category of patients with type
2 diabetes in primary care (Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health
Care ) |

|
Trouble
reading may contribute to poor glycemic control |
| |
Taking diabetes medication doses more than twice
a day and having trouble reading the medication prescription label
were factors associated with poorly controlled diabetes, according
to a recent study from the University of Washington in Seattle
(Endocrine Today) |

| |
Changing the glucose cut-off values that define
hypoglycaemia has a major effect on reported frequencies of hypoglycaemia

Low
Bone Density Persists in Women with Diabetes |
| |
The results of a study published in Diabetes
Care confirm that young women with type 1 diabetes have lower bone
mineral densities (BMD) than young women without the disease (American
