Anybody have an opinion on the truth of this? When our daughter was diagnosed, we were told proper blood suger management would prevent almost all of the nasty effects.

There's certainly an increased risk of ill effects, but the evidence is overwhelming that if one can keep reasonable control the chances are greatly reduced.

My son has type 1 and it is very difficult, if not impossible to maintain HC1A levels which a normal person would have. Maintaining proper blood sugar is vital is reducing the possible ill affects of diabetes, but I think most doctors would say you can reduce the chances in type 1 diabetics, but never to the level of a non diabetic.
