Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Tighter glycemic control and fewer hyperglycemic episodes have been correlated with fewer complications. Smoking cessation and following strict compliance to any antihypertensive drugs prescribed for hypertension also help reduce the risk of complications.
The use of contraception or a prokinetic drug is not related to a reduced risk of vision loss in pa-tients with diabetes.
