Follow-up of Blood-Pressure Lowering and Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetes
In a follow-up study of patients with type 2 diabetes, mortality benefits in those originally assigned to antihypertensive therapy were evident at the end of follow-up, but in-trial glucose differences did not result in long-term benefits in mortality or macrovascular events. Post-trial follow-up st...

| Zusammenfassung: | In a follow-up study of patients with type 2 diabetes, mortality benefits in those originally assigned to antihypertensive therapy were evident at the end of follow-up, but in-trial glucose differences did not result in long-term benefits in mortality or macrovascular events.
Post-trial follow-up studies involving patients with diabetes have previously shown long-term beneficial effects of earlier periods of intensive glucose control, but not blood-pressure lowering, on a range of outcomes, including mortality and macrovascular events.

The Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) study, an extension of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) involving young patients with type 1 diabetes and no history of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, or hypercholesterolemia, showed a lower risk of macrovascular events, as well as a sustained benefit with respect to microvascular complications, beyond the period of intensive glucose control.
