Recent publication
How does poorly controlled diabetes (type 1 diabetes mellitus) in childhood and adolescence affect the liver? A team of doctors and scientists analysed the data of over 32,000 children between the ages of 2 and 17 from the Diabetes-PatientenVerlaufsdokumentation Register. The children were from Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The study, which is freely accessible in the Journal of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, highlights the negative effects of poorly controlled diabetes on liver desease, regardless of body weight. The first author of the study is Dr Florian Koutny from the Division of Internal Medicine 2 at the KL University Hospital St. Pölten.
