title: Study of the erythrocyte deformability in juvenile onset diabetes.
abstract: Erythrocyte filtration rate was studied in 33 subjects suffering from type I diabetes. Any significant differences were observed neither between diabetic group and a control group, nor between diabetics with and without retinopathy. Small individual differences of erythrocyte filtration rate do not seem to correlate with age, with diabetes duration or with metabolic control.
