Abstract
The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) is the largest ever study to clarify the role of glycemia and blood pressure control in improving morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. The study examined the impact of glycemia and blood pressure control on microvascular and macrovascular risk, and if any particular therapy was advantageous for these patients. This articles discusses the background, methodology and results of the UKPDS and develops recommendations for treatment and management of patients with type 2 diabetes in the clinical setting.
