Adolescent Blood Sugar Control in Teens With Type 1 Diabetes Linked to Later Complications
The researchers found that during an average of 29.7 years of follow-up, one-third of participants developed neuropathy, 63% developed diabetes-related eye disease, and 10% developed nephropathy.
According to a study published in the October issue of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, poor blood sugar control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) increases the risk for future complications.
Chris Moran, from Monash University in Australia, and colleagues examined the 30-year glycemic trajectory in children with early-onset T1D.
- The analysis included 30 children with T1D (1990 to 1992) participating in the Cognition and Longitudinal Assessment of Risk Factors study.
- Compared with childhood, the researchers found significant differences in the development of complications.
Poor blood sugar control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes increases the risk for future complications.
Author's summary: Poor blood sugar control in teens with type 1 diabetes increases risk of complications.
