To investigate the relationship between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in a cohort of normotensive, normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients. This is a 6.1+/-3.3 year prospective study of 44 normotensive, normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients. ABP was measured at the beginning and at the end of the study. Measurements of urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy after mydriasis were performed at the start and end of the study and at least once a year. DR was observed in 12 patients at baseline. At the end of the study, eight of these patients had progressed to more advanced stages of retinopathy. Four patients developed retinopathy after the study began. These patients were grouped and classified as progressors. At baseline, progressors were older, had longer duration of diabetes, higher levels of UAER, and higher 24-h diastolic (P=0.03) and diurnal diastolic blood pressure (P=0.03). UAER and diastolic blood pressure (24h or day) remained significantly associated with development and progression of DR after multivariate analysis. High normal ABP was associated with the development or progression of DR in this cohort of normotensive, normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients. Abnormalities in blood pressure homeostasis could indicate higher susceptibility to DR.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D006442 Glycated Hemoglobin Products of non-enzymatic reactions between GLUCOSE and HEMOGLOBIN (occurring as a minor fraction of the hemoglobin of ERYTHROCYTES.) It generally refers to glycated HEMOGLOBIN A. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is hemoglobin A with GLYCATION on a terminal VALINE of the beta chain.
