Abstract: Although the main etiopathogenic mechanism of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is autoimmunity, over the past decade it has been shown that Insulin Resistance also plays a key role in the pathogenesis and in the development of micro- and macrovascular complications , defininig a condition termed as “double diabetes†. Double diabetes has increased with the raised trend of obesity and it could explain the increased risk of cardiovascular complications in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus subjects compared to the general population, even in condition of good glycaemic control. There are some tools that allow to use clinical parameters to quantify Insulin Resistance but especially the beneficial effect of complications prevention measures. Recently it has been shown that the management of the metabolic syndrome components can also be effective in reducing the cardiovascular risk in patients with Type 1 Diabetes since the pediatric age.
