Insulin Therapy Is Associated With an Increased Risk of Carotid Plaque in Type 2 Diabetes: A Real-World Study

Background: Controversies concerning the association between insulin therapy and atherosclerotic lesions in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remain to exist. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether insulin therapy in T2DM patients is linked with the increased risk of carotid atherosclero...
