Early autonomic monitoring may be considered in T1D adolescents; leaves open whether glycemic or SHBG optimization improves HRV.
Does type 1 diabetes and its associated metabolic factors affect heart rate variability in peripubertal girls?
In adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes, poor glycemic control and lower SHBG are associated with reduced heart rate variability, suggesting early impairment of cardiac autonomic function.
