Insulin pumps help preserve normal nerve function

[Northerner]

Australian researchers have discovered that people with type 1 diabetes who use insulin pumps have near-normal nerve function, even if they have had type 1 diabetes for a long time.

Peripheral nerve damage can be a common complication of type 1 diabetes. Although maintenance of blood glucose levels within a recommended range can minimise the development of diabetes-related complications, nerve damage can still occur to some extent in 30-50% of people with type 1 diabetes.

Ouch. Nothing wrong with mine anywhere either as far as I know. Hopefully that means I'm in the 50 - 70% that sails through life unscathed !
