Abstract

Treatment of diabetes mellitus has improved in recent years thanks to progress in insulin therapy. However, this illness remains extremely severe. Approximately 50% of subjects who have had diabetes for more than 20 years have complications or secondary signs of the disease (nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, enteropathy, and arteriopathy) (West et al. 1980).
