Youth with type 1 diabetes showed signs of subclinical arterial damage, as suggested by higher levels of cIMT and carotid-femoral PWV compared to healthy controls at childhood and adolescence. Preventive and therapeutic interventions early in course of disease may be further studied to decrease morbidity in this high-risk young patient group.
