Trends in cardiovascular risk factor management in type 1 diabetes by sex
DCCT showed that intensive type 1 diabetes management reduces complication incidence but did not focus on other cardiovascular disease risk factors, whose control in type 1 diabetes has not been well-studied. We assessed trends in cardiovascular risk factors in type 1 diabetes and attainment of concurrent American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines/recommendations (for HbA1c, blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides) for complication prevention.
