Type 1 diabetes & cardiovascular disease.
Individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) have a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), but some risk factors can be mediated by lifestyle modification and medication. NPs should understand evidence-based management approaches to counsel patients with T1DM on appropriate self-management interventions to reduce the likelihood of CVD.
