ACCORD
• In the ACCORD study a HbA1c value <6,5% has been reached in less than one year and maintained
ADVANCE Collaborative Group et al. NEJM 2008;358:2560-72
ADVANCE
• In the ADVANCE study a HbA1c value <6,5% has been reached in three years and maintained
VADT
• In the VADT study a HbA1c value around 6,5% has been reached in one year and maintained

Causes of death in the ACCORD
ACCORD Study Group et al. NEJM 2008;358:2545-59
• Causes of death:• Unexpected or presumed cardiovascular disease• Condition other than cancer or cardiovascular disease
• What is the role of hypoglycemia?

• The ACCORD suggests that outcomes differ according to– HbA1c below or above a 8,0%– Presence of previous CV events
• Is there a study on the intensive treatment in T2DM in a population with– Basal HbA1c <8,0%– No previous CV events?

Intensive Blood Glucose Control and Vascular Outcomes in Patients with Type Diabetes
• In the ADVANCE the intensive treatment reduces the microvascular endpoint
• Mortality does not increase

p=0,01
p=0,32
p=0,28
• Is there a study on the intensive treatment in T2DM in a population with– Basal HbA1c <8,0%– No previous CV events?
Hypothesis…….
Yes, the …….. UKPDS where participants had basal HbA1c of 7,0% without previous CV events
In the UKPDS the effect of intensive treatment showed p=0,052 and no effect on mortality
According to the UKPDS duration the follow-up of ACCORD, ADVANCE e VADT seems to short
In the UKPDS-PTM the reduction of MI was statistically significant

Answers
Are CV events reduced by an intensive treatmentof hyperglycemia?
YES, in patients with HbA1c <8% and
no previous CV events
Is it feasiblean intensive treatment of hyperglycemia?
YES
•Pay attention to:•hypoglycemia• fragile patients
•don't hurry•choose the right drug!
