Diabetic teens with high blood sugar have higher neuropathy risk in adulthood
Poor blood sugar control in adolescence increases the risk of painful future complications for people with type 1 diabetes, research suggests. Participants with the greatest increase in HbA1c levels from childhood to adolescence not only retained higher blood sugar levels in adulthood, but they also had a greater risk for neuropathy.
