Autonomic functions in type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes.
In juvenile type 1 diabetes a computer-aided orthoclinostatic test, giving information on central autonomic reactivity, shows a significant difference, vs control subjects, only in the ortho-to-clino transition (not in clino-to-ortho), while no differences emerge in peripheral autonomic functions. The correlations between the mean values of heart rate in lying and standing positions seem to indicate a different response of the baroceptor reflex in the two groups.
