By the 1950s, it was accepted that tissue complications,such as those that occur in the eye and kidney, continued to develop in long-standing diabetes, in spite of insulin treatment.
The definitive proof that normalization of glycaemia could prevent or delay the development of diabetic complications had to wait until 1993 for type 1 diabetes (the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial in North America) and 1998 for type 2 diabetes (the UK Prospective Diabetes
Study – UKPDS).
