Thus, a simple, noninvasive method of identifying those at highest — and lowest — risk for the development of complications would be invaluable.Certain markers, such as microalbuminuria, which indicates the presence of very early renal disease, offer some promise. Yet if microalbuminuria is present, there is already substantial renal injury, which may prove difficult or impossible to reverse. The level of glycosylated hemoglobin is directly related to the risk of microalbuminuria, as well as other diabetic complications. Maintaining glycosylated hemoglobin at a . . .
