Background: In subjects with long duration of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), strict glycaemic control fails to decrease the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Impaired vascular indices have been associated with adverse cardiovascular prognosis in T2DM. We examined whether intensive glycaemic control in T2DM patients improves vascular indices.Methods: We studied 68 T2DM patients (64±9 years, 52% males, and T2DM duration 14±10 years) with poor g...

Objective: Clinical trials aiming at strict glycemic control in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) failed to show reduction in the incidence of cardiovascular events. The exact mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the effect of intensive antidiabetic therapy on vascular indices of T2DM patients.Methods: We studied 62 T2DM patients [mean age 64 years, 52% males, mean T2DM duration 14 years) with poor glycemic control (HbA1c &#880...
