Ioduria and type 1 diabetes mellitus – Relationships to selected clinical markers of diabetes in adults

Conclusions: Iodine saturation levels in our study group were within the ICCIDD (WHO) recommendations for optimal/good saturation for the non-diabetic population, and patients with diabetic syndrome did not differ with respect to the chosen normal ioduria concentrations, i.e. 100 or 150μg/l. The question remains, however, whether past attempts to deal with iodine deficits in the Czech Republic are responsible for this satisfactory iodine status of the type 1 diabetic population, or if there are other factors involved.
