Figure Legend:
A 9-year comparison of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels in the patients of the University Group Diabetes Program (UGDP)[7]who were taking either placebo or variable-insulin doses and in the cohorts of the conventional and insulin therapy groups of the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) studied for 9 years[33], both analyzed by assignment to therapy.The UGDP measured blood glucose levels and a correction of × 1.1 was used to give equivalent fasting plasma glucose values. The two studies have shown similar deterioration of blood glucose control over 9 years.
