Data are presented as hazard ratio with 95% confidence interval, as well as subhazard ratio with 95% confidence interval. Model also included sex, waist circumference, diabetes duration, diabetic nephropathy, HbA1c, LDL-cholesterol, severe diabetic retinopathy, any smoking, antihypertensive medication, coronary heart disease, and year of the FinnDiane study visit. Blood pressure variables were included in separate models

SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, MAP mean arterial pressure, PP pulse pressure
