Increased survival reveals new paradigms in diabetic macular edema among patients with type 1 diabetes
This study highlights the time-dependent nature of DME development in T1D, with a marked increase in risk beyond 20 years of disease duration, a pattern that appears to differ from what is typically observed in T2D. DR severity was a key predictor of DME. DME was associated with the presence of microvascular, but not macrovascular complications. These findings emphasize the importance of tailored surveillance strategies to improve outcomes in this high-risk population.
