Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is the time from randomization to one of the composite events, including death from cardiovascular causes, non-fatal myocardial infarction, coronary-artery bypass grafting, percutaneous coronary intervention, non-fatal stroke, amputation, and surgery for peripheral atherosclerotic artery disease during the follow-up period of eight years . | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints include the time to death from any cause and the time to each component of the primary endpoint. In addition, laboratory parameters for T2DM (HbA1c, C-peptide and glucagon stimulated C-peptide, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, oral glucose tolerance test), regular laboratory parameters (i.e. lipid profiles, serum creatinine, creatinin clearance) as well as vitamins and micronutrients (vitamin B6, B12, folate acid and iron status) are assessed. Additional parameters include the amount of medication (insulin dosage, metformin, antihypertensive therapy, etc.), the assessment of nephropathy (urine albumin excretion 24-hours urine sample), retinopathy (according to the EURODIAB six-level grading scale), peripheral neuropathy (assessed by biothesiometry of the big toe in both feet and questionnaire) and quality of life. Data assessment will be after randomization and then 3,6,12 months afterwards and then annually. | — |
