  • Epidemiology
  1. Most patients with diabetes die of cardiovascular disease complications (causes 65% of NIDDM deaths)
    1. Glycemic control has greater benefit in reducing Cardiovascular Risk
    2. Hypertension control has greater benefit in reducing stroke risk
    3. Hyperlipidemia control has greater benefit in reducing coronary disease risk
