Increased accumulation of skin advanced glycation end products is associated with microvascular complications in type 1 diabetes.
Skin autofluorescence (AF) measured with an AF reader device is a noninvasive tool to measure the tissue accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). The aim of the study was to assess the association between AF and microvascular complications in type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). ⋯ The tissue accumulation of AGE is significantly associated with microvascular complications in DM1.
