title: The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial: new challenges for the school nurse.
abstract: Results from the recently concluded Diabetes Control and Complications Trial confirm previously held beliefs regarding the relationships between hyperglycemia and the development of retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Intensive therapy, now recommended for all patients 13 years and over, requires diabetes management throughout the school day and the active participation of the school nurse as a member of the child's health care team.
