摘要
Type 2 diabetes is increasing in epidemic proportions worldwide, and is strongly associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Hyperglycaemia increases risk of CVD, but glycaemic control does not substantially reduce CVD risk. There are several potential explanations for this apparent paradox, including the roles of the metabolic syndrome and post-load hyperglycaemia in the association of type 2 diabetes and CVD.
