title: Recent advances in diabetes care and management.
abstract: Four developments in diabetes care and management have evolved over the last decade and are now routinely incorporated into clinical practice: (1) the introduction of recombinant human insulin; (2) the use of second generation oral agents; (3) home glucose monitoring and glycohemoglobin monitoring; and (4) a better understanding of the relationship between diabetic control and complications.
