First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at children aged 2-16 who are newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It checks if those who also have diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious complication) show early signs of kidney or heart injury using special blood and urine tests. The goal is to better understand which children might be at higher risk for organ problems, but this study does not test any new treatment.
