Controlling blood sugar accomplished little, but the simple three-drug combination would cut heart attacks and strokes by 71%.

If I understand this study correctly, patients didn't have their sugars controlled. This study seems to ignore other long-term issues of uncontrolled sugars, such as diabetic neuropathy(affect of high sugar on nerves), ulceration, retinopathy, etc.

By not controlling blood sugars, the risk of atherosclerosis, peripheral vascular disease, etc. is increased, in spite of taking the 3 generic drugs.
