The Effect of Type 1 Diabetes on Pan-Arterial Vascular Function and Insulin Sensitivity in Humans
In Brief
An observational study for Diabetes Type 1. Completed, enrolled 7 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Arterial vascular disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality for Type 1 diabetic patients (DM1). Metabolic insulin resistance (metIR), even in the absence of hyperglycemia, conveys a 1.5 to 3-fold increased CVD risk in the general population. Metabolic Insulin Resistance (MetIR) has been repeatedly shown to be prevalent in adults and adolescents with DM1. MetIR in obesity and DM2 are accompanied by vascular insulin resistance (vasIR) which is characterized by impaired vasodilatory action of insulin on resistance or microvascular vessels. VasIR has not been systematically studied in DM1. We hypothesize that in young adults DM1 impairs both baseline and insulin-responsive vascular function throughout the arterial vasculature.
