Primary outcomePrimary: Determine the Difference Between Acute Effect of a Mixed Meal on Radial Artery Stiffness in Subjects With Type I Diabetes Mellitus Who do and Who do Not Take an Additional Bolus of Insulin. — -4.5; -4.5; -4.3; -4.3 Percent of Pulse Pressure
Summary
Using radial artery tonometry to study arterial stiffness, the plan is to study a cohort of 65 children with Type I diabetes mellitus. This prospective, crossover study will help determine if there is an acute increase in arterial stiffness in children with Type I diabetes mellitus who do not give extra insulin to cover a meal. This will give more support to show why it is so critical to bolus every time they eat and to bolus on time to decrease cardiovascular consequences of poorly controlled diabetes. The hypothesis is that giving insulin before a meal compared to not giving insulin before a meal will be associated with lower arterial stiffness in children with type I diabetes.
