Children with T1DM had substantially higher prevalence rates of hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia from 1 year before up to 20 years after the onset of diabetes compared with nondiabetics. There is a substantial undertreatment of CVD risk factors with CV drugs. In children with T1DM, screening for CVD risk factors and adequate treatment are of the utmost importance to prevent CVD later in life.
