Statins in adolescents

  •  

A new study will determine if giving statins and/or ACE inhibitors to adolescents with Type 1 diabetes could reduce their risk of developing diabetes-related complications in later life.

The health charities Diabetes UK, British Heart Foundation (BHF) and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) are funding the five-year international study to try and prevent high risk 11-16 year olds developing heart and kidney disease.
