ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE Intensive treatment (INT) of type 1 diabetes reduces the incidence cardiovascular disease (CVD) events compared with conventional (CONV), but it also results in more weight gain. Our objective was to examine whether excessive gain from INT is independently associated subsequent CVD events. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Quartiles (Q) 1,213 participants aged 18 years and older at enrollment Diabetes Control Complications Trial (DCCT) were determined within randomized groups (INT vs. CONV) using change BMI baseline closeout DCCT visits. Effects this on risk factors outcomes during an additional 20 observational follow-up then determined. RESULTS The Q4 group experienced greater proportional (median BMI, 6.08 kg/m2), increases factors, need for medications hypertension lipids Q1–3 comparable CONV groups. Over a mean 26 follow-up, numbers major total not statistically different either or group. By year 14, however, incident event curve became significantly higher than (P = 0.024) similar that CONCLUSIONS For first 13 after DCCT, reduced macrovascular CONV, even when occurred. After this, increased group, becoming equivalent those Longer needed determine trend continues
