Abstract
In patents with diabetes, the higher the serum glucose level was, the more cardiovascular events and death were observed. But with a certain kind of group, to control glucose level tightly does not decrease the incidence of these events. Several studies show that intensive glucose control does not gain benefit in patient with long standing, uncontrolled diabetes, especially having previous cardiovascular events, while definitely preventing progression of newly onset of diabetic nephropathy. Whether intensive glucose control increases mortality in high risk group is obscure and needs more studies with longer observation time.
