Reappraisal of the efficacy of intensive glycaemic control on microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes: A meta-analysis of randomised control-trials

CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis has shown that a tight control of blood glucose levels is associated with a decrease of specific microvascular complication of diabetes: photocoagulation, progression of diabetic retinopathy, incidence or progression of macular oedema, risk of microalbuminuria and risk of macroalbuminuria or proteinuria. Regarding all the other outcomes (vision loss, surgery of cataract, proliferative or non-proliferative retinopathy, death related to kidney disease, development of kidney disease, doubling of serum creatinine, neuropathy), no significant result was found.PMID:34782145 | DOI:10.1016/j.therap.2021.10.002
