    Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) show altered oxygen uptake efficiency during maximal exercise compared to healthy peers.

  • 2

    Despite similar maximal power output and oxygen consumption, T1D adolescents exhibit reduced skin blood flow and microvascular function.

  • 3

    Cardiovascular function and overall exercise capacity are preserved in adolescents with T1D, despite subtle metabolic impairments.

  • 4

    The study highlights early signs of vascular dysfunction in adolescents with T1D, indicating potential long-term health risks.

  • 5

    Findings suggest that peripheral mechanisms, possibly influenced by glucose levels, may underlie exercise response differences in T1D.
