Trends in cardiovascular risk factor management in type 1 diabetes by sex.

ABSTRACT: AIMS:DCCT showed that intensive type 1 diabetes management reduces complication incidence but did not focus on other cardiovascular disease risk factors, whose control in type 1 diabetes has not been well-studied. We assessed trends in cardiovascular risk factors in type 1 diabetes and attainment of concurrent American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines/recommendations (for HbA1c, blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides) for complication prevention. METHODS:Individuals with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes (n = 658; 49.4% women; baseline (1986-1988) median age 27 and duration 19 years) were followed biennially for up to 25 years, with surveys and/or examinations. RESULTS:At the latest recorded follow-up, achievement of concurrent ADA recommendations increased for HbA1c (from 9.7 t
