The present study is a fluorescein angiographic follow‐up of 60 diabetic children (aged 12–16 years). At the follow‐up, with two‐thirds of the children in pubescence, fluorescein angiography revealed diabetic retinopathy in 10 (17%) of the children. The results indicate puberty as a probable determining factor influencing the onset of the diabetic retinopathy.
