Glucose Control and Vascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes: Is the Picture Clear?

The overall impact of glucose lowering on vascular complications and major clinical outcomes, including mortality, in type 2 diabetes is still an open issue. While intensive glucose control has undoubted benefit for microvascular end points, the relationship between glucose-lowering approaches and reduced incidence and/or progression of macrovascular complications is less clear. This review article will discuss the effect of glucose lowering per...
