TL;DR: The risk of mortality from ischaemic heart disease is exceptionally high in young adult women with Type 1 diabetes, with rates similar to those in men with Type 2 diabetes under the age of 40, and the need to identify and treat coronary risk factors in these young patients is emphasised.

TL;DR: To determine the prognostic value of the Framingham equation and the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) risk engine in patients with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Risks of cancer at other major sites were not substantially raised for type I patients, and the excesses of obesity- and alcohol-related cancers in type II diabetes may be due to confounding rather than diabetes per se.

TL;DR: Multiple logistic regression analysis of selected variables revealed that duration of diabetes, absent light touch, impaired pain perception, absent dorsalis pedis pulse, and the presence of any retinopathy were significant predictors of the existence of foot ulceration in diabetic patients.

TL;DR: Type I diabetes is at least as great a risk factor for cerebrovascular mortality as type II diabetes, and analyses of mortality from this cohort, essentially one of patients with type I diabetes, has shown for the first time that cerebroVascular mortality is raised at all ages in these patients.
