Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Compared to non-diabetic subjects, patients with type 2 diabetes have a 2 to 4-fold increased risk of development of CVD. Intensive glycemic control aiming at HbA1c below 7% has been shown to reduce the risk of development of microvascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes; however, its effect on CVD was rather modest.
