Summary
Diabetes prevalence and costs continue to grow
Lower treatment targets will likely drive the adoption of more intensive management
The use of intensive insulin management continues to grow with a notable increase in insulin pump use
A potential barrier to intensive management is patients lack of awareness and perception of good control
