A 2 Year Trial of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Focusing on Cardiovascular Diagnostics and Metabolic Control

Summary

The purposes of this study are: * to investigate the extent of cardiovascular complications in a representative cohort (n=135) of adult patients with type 2 diabetes; * to examine if modern non-invasive assessment can replace invasive assessment; * to determine the effects of a 6 month lifestyle interventional program on weight, glycemic control and lipids in 60 patients; * to determine the effect of a 2-year prospective, randomised multi-interventional program (n=120) on cardiovascular risk, anthropometric measures and glycometabolic control; and * to investigate inflammatory markers in this setting.
