NEJM - BP Control in DM-2 (ADVANCE)


 "Follow-up of Blood-Pressure Lowering and Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetes"

"CONCLUSIONS

The benefits with respect to mortality that had been observed among patients originally assigned to blood-pressure–lowering therapy were attenuated but still evident at the end of follow-up. There was no evidence that intensive glucose control during the trial led to long-term benefits with respect to mortality or macrovascular events. (Funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia and others; ADVANCE-ON ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00949286.)"
