However, in hindsight, this was also a surrogate endpoint--they did not show that there was any change in patient's vision, only that physicians looking through a scope saw something. (There might even have been a question about whether those physicians were properly blinded to which group the patient was assigned to.) So even in the microvascular arena it's been slim pickings if any. Again, in terms of patient benefit, we have to compare the miniscule or nonexistent benefits from tight blood sugar control, with the considerable benefits accorded by lifestyle change, especially exercise, and by aggressive measures to lower cardiovascular risk, such as smoking cessation and hypertension treatment.
