Diabetics who keep their blood sugar in check are likely to have a far lower risk of developing foot pain or other nerve damage in the future. This is shown by a nationwide US study. The study reveals that the positive effects of tight blood glucose control can be seen many years later. Patients who had controlled their blood sugar tightly ever since the start of this study were 51% less likely to have nerve problems than patients who started the study at the same time but did not have the initial five-year period of intensive blood sugar control. The study began in the 1980s, and is published in the journal Diabetes Care It involved 1,441 people with type 1 diabetes.
