This book is divided into two complementary sections. The first is devoted to a review of the literature on diabetic microangiopathy in T1DM in children and adolescents. It covers the various microvascular disorders, their pathophysiological mechanisms and their clinical implications. The second part is a study, the main aim of which is to determine the prevalence of diabetic microangiopathy, in its various components, occurring in the paediatric setting.
