Adolescent Type 1 Diabetes Cardio-Renal Intervention Trial

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether use of blood pressure lowering drugs, Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and blood fat (lipid) lowering drugs (statins) may have a place in the treatment of adolescents with diabetes and can help reduce serious long-term health problems in this population.
