Lipid changes and their relationship with vitamin D levels in children under 18 years with type 1 diabetes.

Objective: To analyze lipid changes and their relationship with 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 (25-OH-D) levels in patients under 18 years old with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Material And Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study. Patients under 18 years with T1DM were enrolled by consecutive, nonrandomized sampling.

[Estimated glucose disposal rate in patients under 18 years of age with type 1 diabetes mellitus and overweight or obesity].

Objective: To assess the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), insulin dose, and lipoprotein profile in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and overweight or obesity as compared to children with T1DM and normal weight.

Methods: A total of 115 patients (aged 5-16 years) with T1DM on intensive insulin therapy were recruited. The following parameters were measured: weight, height, body mass index, waist and hip circumference, insulin dose, eGDR, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood pressure, and lipoprotein profile.

[Prevalence of obesity and cardiovascular risk factors in a group of paediatric patients with type 1 diabetes].

Objective: To establish the prevalence of overweight-obesity and metabolic syndrome in a group of paediatric patients with type 1 diabetes (DM1), and to determine the effects on the lipoprotein profile and metabolic control.

Methods: A group of 115 patients (5-16 years) with DM1, and on intensive insulin therapy was studied. Weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), blood pressure (BP), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-c), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) and triglycerides (TG) were measured.
