Alcohol is published according to a study on bmj.com become important cause of death in patients with type 1 diabetes since the 1980s. The study also shows that early start type has improved 1 diabetes survival rates in aged 0 to 14, with time, while onset type 1 diabetes at the age of 15 to 29 years since the 1980s has deteriorated the survival of patients with late.

Simply put, life who, type 1 diabetes early in life developed today more than years thirty ago, while those who developed the condition not later.

Type 1 diabetes is still with premature death due to acute and chronic complications, connected despite important advances in diabetes care. The authors said that not many studies on mortality trends compare early and late onset diabetes have looked like.

Researchers in Finland 17.306 patients was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes decided to short- and long-term temporal trends comparing mortality by evaluating. All participants were not more than thirty years between 1970 and 1999. She examined also the causes of death in the course of time. The follow-up period for the participants was an average of 21 years.

They found that improved during the 1970-2007 period, early-onset patients survival. The authors say that this is because there is less chronic diabetes complications during the disease’s first 20 years.

Short and long term however, turned mortality among late-onset patients in the same period. The authors explain that the main reason was an increase of drugs and alcohol mortality, as well as acute complications of diabetes.

39% of deaths in late onset, patients due to alcohol and drugs were similar causes.

They conclude:

“This underlines the importance of permanently and durable-doctor-patient relationships close supervision and guidance for the short-term and long-term effects of alcohol among young people with type 1 diabetes, especially in our alcohol permissive cultures.”
