Management of cardiovascular disease risk in teens with type 1 diabetes: Perspectives of teens with and without dyslipidemia and parents

Abstract

Hypertension and dyslipidemia are often suboptimally managed in teens with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Teen and parent perspectives on hypertension and dyslipidemia management need further study to enhance the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor management plans. We sought to describe barriers to and strategies for CVD risk factor management.
