The latest New England Journal of Medicine (text link below) features an interesting study that makes a compelling argument for getting your diabetes under control. Of course, it bypassed any natural means to do so, however.

Based on a study of more than 1,400 patients (ages 13-39) with type 1 diabetes, researchers found those who followed a more aggressive regimen of insulin for more than six years halved their risk of stroke, heart attack and bypass surgery. And, it slashed nerve, kidney and eye disease by 75 percent.
