The goals of diabetes treatment and prevention are to eliminate hyperglycemia symptoms, reduce microvascular and macrovascular complications, and allow patients to live a normal lifestyle. The healthcare team includes primary care providers, endocrinologists, certified diabetes educators, and nutritionists. Treatment involves glycemic control through medication, diet, exercise, diabetes education, and monitoring of blood glucose and medical complications. New technologies aim to further improve diabetes treatment through islet cell transplantation, gene therapy, vaccines, wound healing products, and artificial pancreases.
