Introduction: In patients with type 1 diabetes, exercise has not consistently been shown to improve glycemic control, as measured using HbA1c levels. Participation in competitive sports may even worsen glycaemic control. Free radicals and oxidative stress markers are known to increase during acute exercise in parallel to decreased circulating antioxidant concentrations. We aimed to analyze the effects of chronic and acute exercise on circulating HbA1c and fructosamine levels.<...

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and the role of lipids in the development of this complication is still controversial. In this study we have analyzed the association between lipid levels at onset and during the follow-up and the subsequent development of DR.Methods: The cohort consists of 1132 patients with T1D who were diagnosed in Navarra between 1/1/1990 and ...

Objectives: The gestations in patients with type 1 diabetes are associated with an increase in maternal-fetal complications. Adequate glycemic control during pregnancy has been shown to reduce adverse events. Given that, the treatment with insulin pump improves glycemic control and that pregnancy implies constant changes in insulin resistance, our objective is to analyze the changes in insulin requirements in pregnant patients under CSII.Materials and me...
