Linear growth velocity in children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is heavily related to metabolic control. Children who are prepubertal or in the early stages of puberty are the most vulnerable to growth suppression. Once puberty is well established, growth suppression does not occur until marked hyperglycemia (GHb greater than 16%) exists.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
