"hundreds dead"
When this huge study was begun, and I mean it is a huge study, there were guidelines put in place that the researchers
felt were acceptable.
Statistically a certain number of deaths would be allowed, based on information about diabetics that we already have.
The aggressive arm of the ACCORD study exceeded the limits
of the study, and hence was closed. The number of deaths in the other arm appear to be acceptable at this time or it would have closed also.
When the study is finalized and the results released, we will know more.
The HERS study on hormone replacement, had the same results. Deaths in that study of women taking hormones exceeded guidelines and it was terminated early.
