This slide illustrates the global projections of Diabetes world wide & how it is growing to become a pandemic.
CVDs are the leading cause of death among individuals with diabetes.6 Approximately two-thirds of individuals with diabetes die of CVD, including CHD, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.10
But main question asked being if an intensive glycemic target as compared to the conventional one would result in favourable cardiovascular outcomes
In the past, answers to this question were equivocal
The first study is the UKPDS.
It was published in the lancet 1998. It startwd in 1977.
It was done on 4209 patients.
The results of the UKPDS showed that intensive treatment, as opposed to the conventional approach, was associated with a significant reduction in microvascular-related events. However , in spite of a 16% reduction in the risk of myocardial infarction, borderline statistical significance was achieved (p=0.052).
Population representative of a daily practice
ADVANCE, with more than 11 000 patients, is the largest ever prospective study carried out in type 2 diabetes for the prevention of vascular disease.
% of pts according to HbA1c level at the end of follow up
Major protective effect on the kidneys
21% reduction in renal events
30% less albuminuria
Positive trend toward a reduction in CV death
What makes the use of Diamicron MR extremely rational in ADVANCE?
Four main reasons:
Knowing the high %of db patients suffering from ESRD, or even dying from kidney disease
That goes without saying
Even confirmed with the nice correlation demonstrated in ADVANCE between degree of albuminuria and CV events - mortality
CV mortality was reduced by 12% in only 5 years, however the curves started to separate after 4 years.
Results show that contrary to glibenclamide, Diamicron MR was able to protect β-cells from cell death induced by H2O2 to 55.9%.
This study provides the first evidence for a protective effect of Diamicron MR on pancreatic β-cells damaged by oxidative stress, most likely due to Diamicron MR’s capacity to reduce this oxidative stress.
Therefore the authors state that “Diamicron MR may be effective in preventing β-cells from the toxic action of reactive oxygen species in diabetes.”
Novel data from the UKPDS come from post-trial monitoring for a further 10 years .
Notably, between-group differences in HbA1c levels were lost within one year of stopping the randomly assigned therapies.
But relative reductions in risk persisted at 10 years for microvascular disease outcomes and significant risk reductions emerged for macrovascular related deaths
