To study the progression of diabetic retinopathy in relation to diabetes treatment and glycaemic control in patients with non-insulin dependent (Type 2) diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), we performed a prospective study in a cohort of 1378 diabetic patients, aged ั40 years at diagnosis, of whom 333 were tr

Young people with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) (n = 104, 7 to 19 years old) were classified into groups of good (I), fair (II), and poor (III) diabetic control and compared to 22 healthy controls of same origin and age range. Triglycerides (TG) were significantly elevated with respect
