Key result
Over a 5-year period, adolescents with Type 1 diabetes showed no significant increase in autonomic or peripheral nerve abnormalities from baseline rates of 29.5% and 28.4%, respectively.
Population
102 adolescents with Type 1 diabetes, median age 14.5 years, median diabetes duration 6.8 years.

Stable rates over 5 years should not alter neuropathy screening in adolescent T1D; leaves open need for longer follow-up to detect progression.
Cohort (n=102)
In adolescents with Type 1 diabetes, autonomic and peripheral nerve function abnormalities do not significantly increase over a 5-year period, suggesting longer follow-up is needed to detect evolving neuropathy.
Donaghue et al. (1996) conducted a cohort in Type 1 diabetes (n=102). Type 1 diabetes was evaluated on Autonomic and peripheral nerve function abnormalities. Over a 5-year period, adolescents with Type 1 diabetes showed no significant increase in autonomic or peripheral nerve abnormalities from baseline rates of 29.5% and 28.4%, respectively.
