Zabala A, Darsalia V, Holzmann MJ, et al. - In this nationwide observational study, researchers compared stroke incidence between patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and a matched control group, and ascertained if glucose exposure in T2D patients can anticipate first-time stroke event and mortality. The study sample consisted of 406,271 patients with T2D (64.1 ± 12.4 years/women 45.7%) and 2,008,640 control individuals (64.0 ± 12.4 years/women 45.7%). Twenty-six thousand three hundred eighty patients with T2D compared with 92,372 of control individuals were diagnosed with a stroke during a median follow-up of 7.3 years. Data reported that the incidence rate was 10.88 events per 1,000 person-years compared with 7.03 events per 1,000 person-years. Poor glycaemic control in T2D patients was associated with an increased risk of stroke and death.
