Our study confirms that systemic and skeletal muscle-specific insulin resistance is seen in type 1 diabetes but found that it does not appear to be more severe in the presence of CAD. There were, however, sharp differences between soleus and tibialis anterior muscles in type 1 diabetes: while insulin resistance was clearly manifest in soleus muscle, and was of equal severity in CAD+ and CAD- participants, tibialis anterior did not suggest insulin resistance in participants with type 1 diabetes, as FDG uptake by tibialis anterior correlated positively with CAC severity and was significantly increased in participants with type 1 diabetes and clinical CAD.
