Abstract:
We assessed the impact of an acute bout of hyperglycaemia on nitric oxide (NO)-mediated microvascular function in the skin of adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1DM).
In the hyperglycaemic group, acute increase in BGL was not associated with changes in skin blood flow or the contribution of NO to vasodilation.
These results suggest that, in our group of adolescents with type 1 diabetes, acute hyperglycaemia did not affect skin microvascular NO-mediated function.
