Type 1 diabetes in Cheshire: cardiometabolic risk factor trends (2004-2009).

Aims: In the context of changes in the last 10 years in treatment strategies for type 1 diabetes we evaluated longitudinal trends in cardiometabolic risk factor profiles in a population from North-West England.

Methods: We retrospectively examined longitudinal case records for the period for 291 adult patients followed up between 2004 and 2009 (age range 16-85). Data search was performed through the EMIS® software provider using data held in primary care.
