Text: Intensive control reduced the incidence of combined major macrovascular and microvascular events (18. 1 %, vs. 20. 0 % with standard control ; hazard ratio, 0. 90 ; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0. 82 to 0. 98 ; P = 0. 01), as well as that of major microvascular events (9. 4 % vs. 10. 9 % ; hazard ratio, 0. 86 ; 95 % CI, 0. 77 to 0. 97 ; P = 0. 01), primarily because of a reduction in the incidence of nephropathy (4. 1 % vs. 5. 2 % ; hazard ratio, 0. 79 ; 95 % CI, 0. 66 to 0. 93 ; P = 0. 006), with no significant effect on retinopathy (P = 0. 50).
