1. The Metabolic Memory is more than just tight Glucose Control
Legacy effect of Diabetes Treatment By Megahed AbuElmagd Head of

2. Definition The concept of a Metabolic Memory that is of
diabetic vascular Stresses persisting after glucose normalization,
has been supported both in the laboratory and in the clinic and in
both Type1 and Type2 diabetes.

10. 11 Lowering A1C to below or around 7% has been shown to
reduce microvascular and neuropathic complications of type 1 and
type 2 diabetes. Therefore, for microvascular disease prevention,
the A1C goal for non-pregnant adults in general is
