New approaches to improve diabetes control.
Knowledge about diabetes mellitus and its management has steadily increased since the discovery of insulin in 1921. Specific therapies for both type I and type II diabetes have resulted in greater normalization of plasma glucose levels. Information obtained from self-monitoring of blood glucose levels has given physicians a firmer base on which to make management decisions concerning the safe control of diabetes.
