- Adults with type 1 diabetes face higher risk of early mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events.
- Three key risk factors contribute to poor outcomes: smoking, elevated blood sugar levels, and overweight or obesity.
- Poor glycemic control and smoking increase the risk of mortality.
- Addressing smoking, glycemic control, and weight management is crucial for reducing severe complications in adult patients with type 1 diabetes.
- Older adults diagnosed with type 1 diabetes had poorer blood sugar control over time and were less likely to use insulin pumps.
