Abstract

Highlights: Skin autofluorescence is increased in diabetes, rises with age, and predicts diabetes‐related complications. Exposure to secondhand smoke, because one or more family members are smokers, further increases skin autofluorescence in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes. Elimination of passive smoking should be a goal in diabetes education. Association between age and skin autofluorescence (SAF), in arbitrary units (AU), in young people with type 1 diabetes exposed (black dots) and not exposed (open dots) to secondhand smoke. Regression lines show correlations between these parameters in exposed (solid line) and not exposed (dashed line) patients.
