In patients with established type 2 diabetes, starting insulin therapy was associated with a small reduction in the risk of cardiovascular death, an observational study showed.
Each additional year of exposure to insulin therapy was associated with a significant 4% to 7% relative reduction in the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease over about 5 years of follow-up, depending on the type of insulin, according to Sorin Ioacara, MD, PhD, of the "I. Pavel" Diabetes Outpatient Clinic in Bucharest, Romania.
