"The difference between insulin management in type 1 and type 2 diabetes is rather like the difference between driving a sports car and driving a lorry," says Edwin Gale, emeritus professor of diabetes at the University of Bristol.

Sripal Bangalore, director of research at the New York University School of Medicine, discusses his research into the relative effectiveness of different types of stents in diabetes patients
