| People living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in this population. The risk increases with each uncontrolled risk factor. |
| Most of the recommendations for assessing CVD risk in people living with T1D are extended from those related to T2D. Therefore, specific clinical recommendations are needed. |
| This document is intended to be a proposal suggesting a practical approach for the evaluation, classification, and management of CVD risk in individuals living with T1D, considering the use of carotid ultrasound to guide treatment. |
