Diabetes is a self-managed disease because people with diabetes must take responsibility for their day-to-day care. Much of the daily care involves keeping blood glucose near normal levels at all times. The goal of diabetes management is to keep blood glucose levels as close to a normal range as safely possible, while avoiding blood glucose levels that are too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia). A 1993 study called the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), conclusively showed that intensive glucose control delayed the onset and progression of eye disease, kidney disease and nerve disease by “a range of 35 to more than 70 percent.” In fact, it demonstrated that any sustained lowering of blood glucose helps, even if the person has a history of poor control. This study was conducted by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National Institutes of Health
