Cochrane reviews
- Computer based diabetes self management interventions may have small beneficial effect on HbAic compared with usual care in adults with type 2 DM
- There appears to be no difference for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality when targeting intensive glycaemic control compared with conventional glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Targeting intensive glycaemic control may reduce the risk of microvascular complications, but it increases the risk of hypoglycaemia and might possibly increase total mortality in a population of patients with high prevalence of cardiovascular disease .
Other evidence summaries
-
Fenofibrate may reduce cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes, but there is no evidence of a beneficial effect on total mortality .
- Primary prevention with low-dose aspirin appears to be less (and only marginally) effective in patients with type 2 diabetes than primary prevention in patients with other cardiovascular risk factors or secondary prevention in patients with cardiovascular disease. The effect may be confined to elderly individuals .
