Background: Impaired linear growth and low IGF1 levels, strictly related to poor glycemic control have been reported in children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM).Objective and hypotheses: We studied growth and growth factors in 91 T1DM young patients, 54 males (age: 11.73±3 years, disease duration: 5.2±2.9 years).
