Implication

Cross-sectional study assesses advanced glycation end products and diabetic retinopathy severity in type 1 diabetes, suggesting significant associations.

Key Points

To evaluate the link between cutaneous advanced glycation end products and the presence and severity of diabetic retinopathy in individuals with type 1 diabetes.
Cross-sectional study including 98 adults with type 1 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring systems.
Assessment of cutaneous advanced glycation end products via skin autofluorescence and documenting clinical variables.
Descriptive analyses and multivariable logistic regression models were employed for data analysis.
31.6% of participants had diabetic retinopathy, with advanced glycation end products significantly higher in those with DR (2.67 ± 0.53 vs 2.27 ± 0.57; p < 0.001).
Advanced glycation end products were independently associated with the presence of diabetic retinopathy (OR 3.88; 95% CI 1.25-13.0; p = 0.022).
Correlation noted between advanced glycation end products and diabetic retinopathy severity (p < 0.001).
