Factors associated with diabetes onset were analysed for their predictive value in 708 first-degree relatives of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients including 374 parents and 308 siblings of Type i diabetic patients. Relatives were prospectively followed for 2 304 subject years with blood s

Studying 239 Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients and 144 of their first-degree relatives, we found a significant prevalence of autoimmune manifestations in both groups, compared with sex- and age-matched control subjects (p less than 0.001). In particular, in diabetic patients we found a hi
T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood from 11 newly diagnosed Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients were studied prospectively at three time intervals: as soon as possible after diagnosis, 3 weeks and 5 months later. Lymphocytes were marked with monoclonal OKT antibodies and examined in a
Primary preventative strategies may be useful in non-insulin-dependent (Type 2) diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), where weight reduction and physical exercise may help to counteract the increased risk to first-degree relatives of affected patients. To assess the extent of patient's awareness of these and r
The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of ventricular late potentials derived from signal-averaged ECG in patients with IDDM with and without diabetic neuropathy. Eighty patients with IDDM but without evidence of cardiac disease and 80 age-matched healthy control subjects were inv
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the administration of acetoacetic and hydrochloric acids in a group of control and Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients influenced renal haemodynamics. Renal plasma flow increased from 657 +/- 88 to 762 +/- 81 ml X min-1. 1.73 m-2 in diabe
