A nationwide multicenter randomized controlled study (JDCS) was performed in
type-2 diabetes patients. The conventional (CON) group received usual care including
anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive and anti-hyperlipidemic agents to maintain their
targeted levels, and the intervention (INT) group additionally received intensive
education on lifestyle modifications and adherence to treatment by telephone
counselling and at each time outpatient clinic visit for 8 years. The JDCS appears to
be based on an assumption that usual treatment of diabetes is appropriate for the
prevention of diabetes complications, and that the lack of patients’ compliance is the
major cause of unsuccessful treatments. No significant differences between the two
groups were found in most of the test results (BMI, blood pressure, fasting glucose
level, TC, HDL, lipoprotein-a), use of agents, life style (energy intake, smoking and
alcohol intake) at 4 years of intervention. The exercise level was higher at 5 years of
intervention, and triglyceride level was lower at 8 years. The incidence of coronary
heart disease, retinopathy and neuropathy did not differ significantly between the
two groups, but stroke incidence was lower in the INT group. We conducted new
analyses on the changes of some explanatory variables in each group. The proportion
of participants with pharmacological treatment including insulin significantly increased
in both groups except sulfonylureas which about 60% of the participants used at the
baseline. On the other hand, those without pharmacological treatment decreased from
19% to 4% in both groups. These indicate that both groups failed in diabetes treatment
together. As for the exercise and the smoking cessation, these may prevent stroke,
but do not contribute to improvement of diabetes. It is not convincing enough for us to
support the validity of publicizing the treatment of diabetes patients used in the JDCS
study performed at 59 universities and general hospitals in Japan.
