Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolution of treatment and monitoring technologies for type 1 diabetes has significantly improved the diagnostic and therapeutic approach and the natural history of the disease, but probably the complications of type 1 diabetes in childhood are still underestimated.
As the prevention of vascular complications is crucial in children with T1D, the identification of new insights, tools, and biomarkers to identify individuals at increased risk is mandatory, and more information remains to be explored in the field of prevention, which starts in childhood.
SCOPE: This Special Issue entitled ‘Complications of Type 1 Diabetes in Pediatric Age: Early Biomarkers and New Insights Into Diagnosis and Prevention Strategies’ welcomes manuscripts in the formats of research articles, short communications, case reports, and reviews. Manuscripts should focus on the diagnosis and management of complications of type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents.
Particular attention will be given to the following topics:
- Strategies for the early identification of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes at risk of micro- and macrovascular complications.
- Underexplored pediatric aspects of complications of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
- Quality of life and new risk factors for cardiovascular complications in pediatric diabetes.
- The early biomarkers of micro- and macrovascular complications in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
