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...
