Abstract

The survival rate among patients with diabetes mellitus has increased substantially, largely in response to: the discovery of insulin, which reduced the mortality related to ketoacidosis; and the development of antibiotics for effective treatment of infections. These developments have resulted in a significant increase in macrovascular (cardiovascular) and microvascular (nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy) complications [1–3].
