Intensive glucose control may not affect cardiovascular disease progression except in select subgroups. Since time-to-first event analysis may miss beneficial or harmful effects of glucose control on the risk of cardiovascular disease, recurrent events analysis should be routine in cardiovascular outcome trials, particularly when investigating long-term treatment effects (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews)

Prevalence, glucose control and relative survival of people with Type 2 diabetes in the UK from 1991 to 2013
The estimated prevalence of diagnosed Type 2 diabetes trebled in the UK between 1991 and 2013. Improved survival in people with diagnosed Type 2 diabetes is likely to account, at least in part, for the increase in prevalence observed. Improvements in glucose control observed in people with diagnosed Type 2 diabetes over the same period needs to be interpreted with caution due to the high percentage of missing data in the 1990s (Diabetic Medicine)
