Our new #article on depression and adherence to cardioprotective medication in people with T1D is now published. Those prescribed cardioprotective therapy who diagnosed depression or antidepressant purchases had higher odds of having poor adherence to cardioprotective therapy.

Today is #WorldDiabetesDay! The #FinnDiane Study highlights that reducing sitting at work can help people with #Type1diabetes maintain cardiovascular health https://t.co/eyIN8CF2Ce Let’s make workplaces healthier for people with #diabetes: move more, sit less!

Our new #article on diabetic kidney disease has been published! Using exome-wide analysis, the GENIE consortium identified a novel rare EXD3 variant linked to the diabetic kidney disease in T1D. Full study: https://t.co/lwdIw5QbT8...

We conducted the largest NGS study to date on severe diabetic retinopathy (SDR) in type 1 diabetes, identifying novel rare and low-frequency variants in genes such as AFAP1L1, SLC30A9, HPS3, PELI1, and CSMD2.

Excited to share our latest FinnDiane article published in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science (IOVS): "Exome and Genome Sequencing Reveals Novel Variants for Severe Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 1 Diabetes"

Small panel of proteins can predict the onset and progression of diabetic kidney disease in type 1 diabetes as shown by Stefan Mutter #EASD2025 #proteomics

Raija Lithovius showed that key factors for rapid eGFR decline were largely similar across cohorts with different ethnic backgrounds but some differences exist and should be further investigated #EASD2025

Lifetime exposure to hyperglycemia and lipids are risk factors for heart failure in type 1 diabetes as presented by Rebecka Bergdal #EASD2025

[FinnDiane Study @FinnDianeStudy]

Nadja Vuori found new genomic hits in her first-ever genome-wide association survival analysis in retinopathy and type 1 diabetes #EASD2025

Congratulations to Anniina Tynjälä for winning a best early career abstract at #EASD2025 for her work on the genetic background of arterial stiffness in type 1 diabetes @FolkhalsanRC @HelsinkiUniMed

[FinnDiane Study @FinnDianeStudy]

Krishna Adeshara presents our results with regards to genetics of protein glycation: genetic variants linked to advanced glycation end products were associated with higher risk of coronary artery disease in type 1 diabetes #EASD2025

[FinnDiane Study @FinnDianeStudy]

Sara Itkonen showed that neuropathy is associated with the future strokes in type 1 diabetes in our cohort #EASD2025

[FinnDiane Study @FinnDianeStudy]

Women with two or more children have fewer complications according to Kaarina Rimpeläinen who is presenting her results at the European Diabetes conference #EASD2025

In our latest study, there was no connection between age at type 1 diabetes onset and intracranial volume, indicating that earlier diabetes onset does not have a clinically significant impact on brain growth https://t.co/2A3IB9t9un @FolkhalsanRC @HelsinkiUniMed

Latest results investigating genetics of urinary metabolites: Causal analysis suggested estimated kidney filtration rate (eGFR) affected 13 metabolites while ethanolamine was associated with higher eGFR. https://t.co/lfku301wTe @FolkhalsanRC @HelsinkiUniMed @NgaleHealth

Urinary metabolites such as xanthosine, 3-hydroxyisobutyrate, trans-aconitate and 4-deoxythreonate predict future coronary artery disease in individuals with type 1 diabetes https://t.co/27uKWf13hI @FolkhalsanRC @HelsinkiUniMed
