Recent experimental work has challenged and shattered the old concept of a sequestration of pancreatic islet antigens from developing T-cells within the thymic environment. There is now compelling evidence that the central immunological tolerance of the whole insulin family may be induced during the
It is well established that peripheral insulin sensitivity is a critical factor in the aetiology of non-insulin dependent (Type 2) diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Insulin resistance may also play a role at various stages in the natural history of insulin dependent (Type 1) diabetes (IDDM) and this was th
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
Insulin regimens and metabolic control in children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes mellitus were evaluated in a cross-sectional, non-population-based investigation, involving 22 paediatric departments, from 18 countries in Europe, Japan, and North America. Blood samples and information were col
