    AbstractAlthough not curable, type 1 diabetes is eminently controllable. IIT, as guided by the results of landmark studies such as the DCCT, provides primary care providers with a blueprint for reducing the frequency of the devastating complications of diabetes that were all too common in the recent past. Considering the remarkable advances in contemporary therapy, including MDI and CSII, the likelihood of even greater future improvements in quality of life and survivability can be anticipated. Success requires patient engagement and education, an informed primary care provider, and an interdisciplinary team to maximize the benefits of insulin therapy and avoid the risks of hypoglycemia.Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
