Key result
Risk factor modification can reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications in patients with diabetes.
Why the study?
Does risk factor modification reduce the risk of complications in patients with diabetes?
Does risk factor modification reduce the risk of complications in patients with diabetes?
Risk factor modification is important for reducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications in patients with diabetes.
Supports risk factor modification in diabetes care; leaves open optimal targets for prospective trials.
The risks of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease in patients with diabetes are greater than those in persons without diabetes. This is due, in part, to the metabolic effects of insulin resistance. Other contributing factors include hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, hypercoagulability, homocysteinaemia, smoking, and obesity. Risk factor modification, where possible, can reduce the risk of complications of diabetes and macrovascular disease.
