Elevated glycated hemoglobin levels impair blood pressure in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Deregulation of glycemic and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1) levels accelerate the progression of cardiovascular complications in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between HbA1 and changes in blood pressure of children and adolescents with T1DM.

Methods: A total of 60 children and adolescents were recruited and allocated into two groups (prehypertension and control group).
