January 20, 2015 03:52 pm Chris Crawford – A study published this month brings good news for people who have type 1 diabetes: Those who control their blood glucose intensively are likely to live longer than those who do not.
The study,(jama.jamanetwork.com) published online Jan. 6 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that tight control of the condition for the first seven years after diagnosis was associated with a 33 percent reduction in deaths compared to conventional control.
Of the 29.1 million people in the United States who had diabetes in 2012, 5 percent had type 1 disease, according to the CDC's 2014 National Diabetes Statistics Report.(www.cdc.gov)
