Popis: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a recognised risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. Other risk factors include age, gender, family history, glycaemic control, dyslipidaemia, weight, and activity levels. To estimate the point prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in a paediatric population with T1DM. Eighty-one patients with T1DM aged between 10 and 16 years attended during the study and 56 (69.1 %) patients agreed to participate. Mixed methods data collection included a questionnaire developed for this study, supplemented by retrospective and prospective data collected from the patient records. Of 56 subjects with T1DM, aged 12.7 ± 1.7 years (10–16 years) 26 were male and 30 were female. Mean HbA1c was 72 ± 14 mmol/mol. 53 subjects (94.6 %) had at least one additional cardiometabolic risk factor. Cardiometabolic risk factors are present in this population with T1DM. Identifying cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescent T1DM patients is the first step in prevention of future morbidity and mortality.
