研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to study the role of low vitamin D levels on the health of blood vessels or vascular function in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes.
详细描述
Vitamin D deficiency is known to be common in patients with type 1 diabetes. Studies in adults have shown that vitamin D deficiency is associated with cardiovascular events such as stroke, myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial disease. However, the impact of this deficiency on vascular health in adolescents with diabetes has not been examined. Furthermore given that endothelial dysfunction is reversible, early detection of this process may have therapeutic and prognostic implications in this population.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Endothelial Function after Treatment with Vitamin D
时间窗: Baseline, 3 or 6 months
We will measure the change in endothelial function from baseline in the children that were vitamin D deficient. This measurement will be done once the child has become vitamin D sufficient. Vitamin D status will be assessed at 3 months. If the levels remain deficient treatment would continue for another 3 months, with repeat testing at 6 months. Endothelial function will be assessed by peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) which measures the elasticity of the arteries.
Comparison of Endothelial Function
时间窗: Baseline
We will compare endothelial function in adolescents with type 1 diabetes divided into 2 groups on the basis of vitamin D status (deficient and sufficient). Endothelial function will be assessed by peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) which measures the elasticity of the arteries.
次要结局
- Comparison of Urinary Albumin/Creatinine Ratio(Baseline)
- Monitoring of Vitamin D Levels in Vitamin D deficient subjects(2-3 months)
- Comparison of Systemic Blood Pressure(Baseline)
- Monitoring of Calcium Creatine Ratio in Vitamin D deficient subjects(2-3 months)
