[Direction of change in the somatic development in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes].

It has been observed that the increase of weight and waist circumference concern girls. Patients with overweight and obesity represent a risk of early development of complications and require special care. PMID: 29073291 [PubMed - in process]
