KEY POINTS

  • The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and the follow-up Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) study showed that improving glycemic management is associated with lower rates of complications.
  • Acute complications can occur in youth and adolescents, and chronic complications can occur as early as the adolescent period.
  • Guidelines exist for screening and management of complications.
  • New technologies, including continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps, have the potential to better understand/address glycemic patterns and decrease rates of bothacute and chronic complications.
