Intensive glucose therapy and clinical implications of recent data: a consensus statement from the Global Task Force on Glycaemic Control
International Journal of Clinical Practice, 09/21/09

Akalin S et al. – Evidence from ACCORD, ADVANCE, VADT and UKPDS suggests that certain patient populations, such as those with moderate diabetes duration and/or no pre–existing CVD, may benefit from intensive blood glucose control. These trials highlight the benefit of a multifactorial treatment approach to diabetes. However, ACCORD results indicate that aggressive HbA1c targets (<6.0%) may not be beneficial in patients with existing CVD and a longer duration of diabetes. Glycaemic control remains a very important component of treatment for type 2 diabetes and contrasting results from the ACCORD, ADVANCE and VADT should not discourage physicians from controlling blood glucose levels.
