Abstract

Background: Because of the world obesity epidemic, some type 1 diabetics exhibit clinical-biological features of metabolic syndrome. Few studies have investigated the association between this syndrome and this type of diabetes. Aim: To estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in type 1 diabetics and to study the relationship between this syndrome and the clinical-biological profile of these patients.

The metabolic syndrome was found in 30.7% of patients, with a female predominance (48.1% vs. 10.1% in men, p
