In Russia, diabetes mellitus afflicts 8 million people, 90% of them had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and this figure is growing steadily. At the same time there is a rise in the incidence of macrovascular events (unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction). Coronary heart disease and its attack are a major cause of death in the developed countries, including Russia. To prevent chronic complications of DM is likely to be the most urgent task of not only modern diabetology, but also medical science as a whole. In this connection, of great value are the results of a few large international randomized controlled studies, the main objective of which was to evaluate the impact of the rate of blood glucose control on the incidence and outcomes of cardiovascular diseases in patients with T2DM
在俄罗斯，糖尿病折磨着800万人，其中90%患有2型糖尿病（T2DM），且这一数字在稳步增长。与此同时，大血管事件（不稳定型心绞痛、心肌梗死）的发病率也在上升。冠心病及其发作是包括俄罗斯在内的发达国家的主要死因。预防糖尿病的慢性并发症可能不仅是现代糖尿病学，也是整个医学领域最紧迫的任务。就此而言，一些大型国际随机对照研究的结果具有重要价值，其主要目的是评估血糖控制率对T2DM患者心血管疾病发病率和结局的影响。
