When will my participation in the study finish?

Your participation by taking study treatment in ASCEND finished during 2017. The results of the main ASCEND trial were published in 2018 and can be accessed from this website clicking on the following link: Publications. As described above we are continuing to collect/process information from the one-off Visual Function Questionnaire and NHS Diabetic Eye Screening service, which will allow us to compare the effects of the study medications on eye health.
