About this trial

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the use of a contactless and non-invasive technique to measure the properties of the skin's microcirculation and its regulatory functions in both healthy individuals and patients with microvascular disease associated with type 1 diabetes. It is hoped that the study results will lead to the development of a useful method for detecting diabetic complications at an early stage, thereby enabling treatment and preventive measures before the onset of severe microangiopathy.
