Identifying Children With Diabetes Type 1 at High Risk for Cardiovascular Disease.
Patients with type 1 diabetes type 1 (DM1) have increased risk of death due to heart disease
and stroke. These cardiovascular conditions (CVD) are the leading cause of death in patients
with DM1 younger than 40 years of age and up to 35% of all persons with DM1 will die before
age 55 from CVD. Strategies are needed to help identify adolescents with DM1 at risk for CVD
so that interventions to prevent heart disease and stroke can be undertaken.

Patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls will have evaluation of their lipid
profile. Arterial stiffness, heart rate variability and adiposity measurements will be done
in patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls. Blood pressure and heart rate will be
recorded. 50 ml of urine will be collected from patients and controls.
All studies will be performed as a single outpatient visit at Georgetown University.
