Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed data from a large pediatric diabetes registry (92,633 patients) to investigate the occurrence of cataracts in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, finding 235 cases of diabetic cataract.
- It categorized 200 patients into early cataract (developing 3 months before to 12 months after diabetes onset) and late cataract (more than 12 months after onset), noting that those with early cataracts were older and had higher HbA1c levels at diabetes onset.
- Results indicate that cataract development peaks at diabetes onset and diminishes with longer diabetes duration, with hyperglycemia believed to be the main cause of early cataract formation.
