The UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) was a landmark randomised, multicentre trial of glycaemic therapies in 5,102 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. It ran for twenty years (1977 to 1997) in 23 UK clinical sites and showed conclusively that the complications of type 2 diabetes, previously often regarded as inevitable, could be reduced by improving blood glucose and/or blood pressure control. The UKPDS was designed and run by the late Professor Robert Turner and Professor Rury Holman. See UKPDS~Post Trial Monitoring for follow-up, publications, presentations and slides. |
