Abstract
Quiz Ref ID The prevalence of diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate, as are the associated personal and societal costs. While diabetes care should address a number of risk factors (dyslipidemia, blood pressure, tobacco use, etc), hyperglycemia itself not only defines the disease but is the cause of its most characteristic symptoms and long-term complications. Good glycemic control reduces the incidence and progression of microvascular disease in both type 1 and 2 diabetes.1-4 The impact of hyperglycemia on cardiovascular disease is also becoming increasingly evident.5-7 Although the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial found an increased incidence of hypoglycemia accompanying intensive glycemic control,8 participants rated their overall quality of life as improved by better glycemic control.9Keywords
