Discordant Trends in Microvascular Complications in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes From 1990 to 2002

Abstract: OBJECTIVE -Since the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial, diabetes management goals have changed. The aims of the present study were to assess complication rates, including nerve abnormalities, in adolescents from 1990 to 2002 and to investigate associated risk factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-Cross-sectional analysis of complications was assessed in three study periods (1990 -1994 [T1], 1995-1998 [T2], and 1999 -2002 [T3]) in adolescents matched for age and diabetes duration (n ϭ 878, median age 14.6… Show more

“…This result is likely to be due to the low prevalence of microalbuminuria in this cohort (4%) and in other recent reports (12,13). Early elevation of AER precedes the development of microalbuminuria (24); therefore, a possible interpretation of our findings is that augmented collagen deposition within the extracellular matrix of the glomeruli parallels collagen glycation in connective tissues including the plantar aponeurosis.…”

“…Such natural course of the disease brings into question the necessity of pharmacological treatment implementation, especially in diabetic children and adolescents. There is no consensus on the frequency of diabetic nephropathy and microalbuminuria, as some reports evidence decreasing prevalence, while others show no improvement despite the intensification of diabetes control and pharmacological therapy [14][15][16][17]. Another important conclusion suggested on the basis of recent studies is that microalbuminuria is reversible even without any intervention.…”
