Summary
Onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus (TIDM) is mainly in the 7-15 year age group, but it can present at any age[1]. Microalbuminuria precedes proteinuria and is a potentially reversible stage of diabetic nephropathy[2,3,4]. Earlier detection and necessary intervention could change the progression of the disease. This study is conducted to fill the lacunae in the literature concerning children with T1DM and glycaemic control and occurrence of microalbuminuria in the Indian sub-continent.
