Abstract:
Diabetic patients are usually accompanied by cardiovaseular diseases (CVD),and the main purpose of diabetes intervention is to prevent cardiovascular events.But recently.the results of clinical trials give us indications that patients may benefit little from the late intensive glycemic intervention.Most patients already had atherosclerosis before the diagnosis of diabetes,and macrovaseular events even happened in the impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)subjects,which means that IGT is the best opportunity of hyperglycenfia intervention for the CVD benefit.
