Meta AnalysisThe association between intensive glycemic control and vascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a meta-analysis.
In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the relationship between lowering glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) and macrovascular complications is not clear and therefore lowering the level of HbA(1c) is controversial. ⋯ The results of this analysis suggest that a target HbA(1c) level of 7.0-7.9% may be a better glycemic control target than that of <7.0% in patients with established type 2 diabetes mellitus.
