Although oxygen is commonly used to treat various medical conditions, it has recently been shown to worsen vascular function (arterial stiffness) in healthy volunteers and even more in patients in whom vascular function might already be impaired. The effects of oxygen on arterial function in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are unknown, although such patients display disturbed vascular function already at rest. Therefore, we tested whether short-term oxygen administration may alter the arterial function in patients with T1D.
