Does type 1 diabetes affect cardiac and vascular function over a 3-year period in adolescents and young adults compared to controls?
Adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes showed an overall improvement in carotid function and stable cardiac measures over 3 years, remaining similar to healthy controls.
Berger et al. (2004) studied this question.
