2018, Diabetes Research and Clinical PracticeCitation Excerpt :However, health professionals believe that patients’ inability to adjust to treatment may be due to lack of training and incentive that can change their attitude towards health. Data reveal that besides the impact of the disease and the treatment, there are other factors, i.e. personal, psychological, financial, educational, social and environmental, as well as family relations, which may affect the course of the treatment [6–8]. The goal is to improve the life of patients with diabetes.

2007, Diabetes Research and Clinical PracticeCitation Excerpt :In addition, the gains in terms of lower diabetes incidence must be offset against the costs of ongoing drug treatment and any adverse events of drug therapy. For example, although the reduction in risk of diabetes or death reported in the Diabetes Reduction Assessment with ramipril and rosiglitazone Medication (DREAM) trial was comparable with that provided by intensive lifestyle modification, the risk of heart failure was seven times higher with rosiglitazone than with placebo, and weight gain was a common side effect [38,39]. Improvements in the management of patients with diabetes over the past three decades have helped to delay the development of vascular complications.
