Vascular Calcification
Vascular calcification is a condition characterized by the accumulation of calcium in the blood vessels, which can lead to reduced blood flow and increased risk of heart disease.
We are studying whether metformin can slow down artery calcification and improve blood flow in people with type 1 diabetes who do not have chronic kidney disease. This research may help us understand how to better manage cardiovascular risks in these patients.
