The presence of cerebral white matter lesions and lower skin microvascular perfusion predicts lower cognitive performance in type 1 diabetes patients with retinopathy but not in healthy controls-A longitudinal study.

Indeed, a previous analysis performed by us in a larger sample showed a trend across groups toward lower baseline capillary function in patients with type 1 diabetes compared to controls (type 1 diabetes with retinopathy: 45 ± 7 capillaries/mm 2 ; type 1 diabetes patients without retinopathy: 46 ± 9 capillaries/mm 2 ; healthy controls: 48 ± 10 n/mm 2 ; P = 0.05).
