Text: After adjustment for baseline and clustering, significant inter-group differences were observed in mean changes from baseline for HbA (1c) { -28. 5 mmol/mol [-0. 7 % (1. 4)] vs. -27. 5 mmol/mol [-0. 6 % (1. 6)], P = 0. 001 }, blood pressure [systolic -16. 2 (19. 6) vs. -8. 4 (18. 6) mmHg, P < 0. 001], total cholesterol [-1. 3 (1. 3) vs. -1. 0 (1. 2) mmol/l, P < 0. 001] and weight [-3. 8 (5. 5) vs. -2. 2 (5. 5) kg, P = 0. 01] in favour of intensive treatment.
