Only one girl (0.6%) who suffered DM type 1 more than 5 years, has SBP and DBP > percentile 95, There is no any significant correlation with the others.
Conclusion
Most of the childrens blood pressure in DM type 1 are still normal. In this research, a girl who being suffered in DM type 1 with hypertension (> 95th percentile) has been being suffered more than 5 years.
