The Effect of Melatonin on Early Signs of Hypertension in Teenagers With Diabetes Mellitus Type 1

Summary

Nocturnal hypertension is recognized via ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Melatonin, (as previously seen in earlier studies in adults), may alter these changes, which may be a benefit especially for patients with diabetes mellitus who are at risk for cardiovascular changes. The purpose of this study is to estimate the use of melatonin as treatment for nocturnal hypertension in young adults with type 1 diabetes melitus.
