Figure 2 Mean systolic(A) and diastolic (B) blood pressures ± standard errors according to intensive (solid line) versus moderate (dashed line) therapy throughout 5 years. T tests at each time interval revealed a significant and persistent blood pressure separation occurred after 6 months between the two interventions, P < 0.0001.

Figure 3 Mean total cholesterol (normal range 130 to 200 mg/dL) and glycosylated hemoglobin (normal range 4.2 to 7.0%) values ± standard errors over 5-years for the intensive (solid line) versus moderate (dashed line) therapy (A), and nisoldipine (solid line) versus enalapril (dashed line) therapy(B). T tests at each time interval reveal no significant difference between the therapies.

Figure 6 Log urinary albumin excretion (UAE) for intensive (solid line) and moderate (dashed line) blood pressure control groups: (A) normoalbuminuria at baseline; (B) microalbuminuria at baseline. *T test performed at various time intervals revealed a P value <0.05.

Figure 7 Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrating progression from normoalbuminuria to microalbuminuria (A; P = 0.04) and from microalbuminuria to overt albuminuria (B; P = 0.02 )in patients on (solid line) intensive versus (dashed line) moderate therapy.
