Intensive glucose control and macrovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes
Abstract
Aims/hypothesisImproved glucose control in type 2 diabetes is known to reduce the risk of microvascular events. There is, however, continuing uncertainty about its impact on macrovascular disease. The aim of these analyses was to generate more precise estimates of the effects of more-intensive, compared with less-intensive, glucose control on the risk of major cardiovascular events amongst patients with type 2 diabetes.MethodsA prospectively …
