New findings from the FinnDiane Study: Fracture risk in type 1 diabetes is increased from a young age and rises markedly with diabetic kidney disease. The highest risk was seen in kidney failure. Bone health may need attention earlier than current guidelines suggest.

New #FinnDiane publication. Chronic low-grade inflammation adds to the coronary artery disease risk from metabolic syndrome in type 1 diabetes, but only in those WITHOUT DKD. Managing metabolic risk factors early and screening for chronic low-grade inflammation offer improved risk stratification.

New findings from the FinnDiane study: central obesity in type 1 diabetes matters. Even a 0.1-unit increase in waist-to-height ratio was associated with a 21% higher risk of coronary artery disease, and the association was most pronounced among those without kidney disease. doi.org/10.2337/dc25...

New study! Our study is the first study to test whether early OCTA‑detected retinal microvascular changes relate to cognition in middle‑aged adults with T1D. We found that larger retinal abnormalities were linked to poorer working memory. www.clinicalkey.com#!/content/pl...
