Why the study?
Can a non-invasive heat stimulus detect microvascular dysfunction in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus?
Can a non-invasive heat stimulus detect microvascular dysfunction in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus?
A non-invasive heat stimulus can detect microvascular dysfunction in young patients with T1D, highlighting the importance of tight glycemic control for vascular health.
Adolescents and young adults with T1D have evidence of microvascular dysfunction that can be detected using heat, a non-invasive physiologic stimulus. HbA1c appears to play an independent role in determining microvascular perfusion suggesting tight glycemic control is probably important for the development of vascular disease.
