Abstract
Whether treatment of hyperglycaemia prevents progression of diabetic nephropathy is controversial. Intensive glycaemic control reduces the risk of microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria, but there is no clear-cut evidence showing that it reduces doubling of serum creatinine levels or risk of death from kidney disease. Larger studies or further follow-up of previous trials are required to better assess renal outcomes.

10-Year Follow-up of Intensive Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: Despite an early loss of glycemic differences, a continued reduction in microvascular risk and emergent risk reductions for myocardial infarction and death from any cause were observed during 10 years of post-trial follow-up.

Intensive diabetes treatment and cardiovascular disease in patients with type 1 diabetes.

TL;DR: Intensive diabetes therapy has long-term beneficial effects on the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 1 diabetes, and changes between treatment groups remained significant after adjusting for these factors.

Effects of a fixed combination of perindopril and indapamide on macrovascular and microvascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (the ADVANCE trial): a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: Routine administration of a fixed combination of perindopril and indapamide to patients with type 2 diabetes was well tolerated and reduced the risks of major vascular events, including death, which suggest that over 5 years, one death due to any cause would be averted.
