Search for: [Abstract = "tude of the response from the sural nerve showed significant inverse correlations with age \(R=\-0.52, p=0.000\), disease duration \(R=\-0.40, p=0.000\), intima\- media thickness \(R =\-0.36, p=0.018\) and with BMI \(R=\-0.25, p=0.025\). Similarly, the thickness of the intima\-media complex correlated with age \(R=0.57, p=0.000\), disease duration \(R=0.56, p=0.000\), and BMI \(R=0.39 p=0.008\). However, significant correlations were also found with CESD\-R, with DSMQ and with some sub\-scores of SOC and DLCS. Discussion This study revealed increased occurrence of peripheral neuropathy and angiopathy in DM1 despite treatment with insulin pump. Thus, even modern therapy with a very high percentage of time spent in normoglycemia \(65\-85%\) does not completely prevent the development of neurological complications of DM1. On the other hand, the incidence of neuropathy symptoms was much lower than in the populations treated without tight glucose control, which is in line with previous studies. Surprisingly, differences were found in factors contributing to the development of peripheral neuropathy and angiopathy. Both were related to age, disease duration and BMI. However, the angiopathy showed also relation to psychological factors, such as attitude towards the disease \(DLCS\), body perception \(SOC\) and therapeutic strategy \(DSMQ\). Concurrently, the correlation of BMI with the thickness of the intima\-me"]
