A Biomechanical Investigation of Children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Are Children's Feet a Precursor to Adulthood Foot Complications?

Screening is warranted to identify and manage these conditions early to reduce their risk of more significant foot problems associated with DM in adulthood.PMID:38170612 | DOI:10.7547/21-134
