Does intensive blood glucose control reduce microvascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes?

The latest article from the National Prescribing Centre (click here to read the full article).

The NPC's article has a nice 'Action' section, which reports:

"Healthcare professionals should continue to follow NICE guidance on type 2 diabetes and agree individual HbA1c targets taking into account patient preference, and the balance of likely benefits and burden of treatment. A “keep it simple and safe” approach seems appropriate for the initial management of blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes, whether aiming for macrovascular or microvascular prevention."

For those of you who are fans of the NPC, you may be interested to hear that they're being subsumed by NICE.
