  • Title: Microangiopathy in Singapore diabetic children.
    Author: Tan SH, Lee BW, Low PS.
    Journal: Ann Trop Paediatr; 1985 Sep; 5(3):119-22. PubMed ID: 2415047.
    Abstract:
    Nineteen children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were assessed for microangiopathic complications in the University Department of Paediatrics, Singapore. Of 17 who underwent nerve conduction studies, all showed impaired nerve conduction velocities, with more sensory than motor nerve involvement. The extent of neuropathy was significantly correlated with the duration of disease. Of five children who showed significant proteinuria, two had impaired creatinine clearance, two had cataract formation, and two retinopathy, in one background and in one proliferative. Our study showed a high prevalence of microangiopathic complications in these diabetic children and it is hoped that improved blood glucose control, with the aid of home blood glucose monitoring, may minimize or arrest the microangiopathic complications.
