Abstract
A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes brings many challenges: ranging from a need for frequent monitoring of blood sugars and insulin dose adjustments to avoid acute complications to the prevention of long-term complications. Foremost of these long-term complications, in terms of total burden and mortality, is cardiovascular disease.1 Extensive data over many years have shown that patients with type 1 diabetes have a much higher risk of cardiovascular disease, especially those diagnosed in childhood who have an eight times higher risk of hospitalisation during young adulthood (30–44 years old).
