Summary
Nocturnal hypertension is recognized via ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in adolescents
with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Melatonin, (as previously seen in earlier studies in adults), may alter these changes, which
may be a benefit especially for patients with diabetes mellitus who are at risk for
cardiovascular changes.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the use of melatonin as treatment for nocturnal
hypertension in young adults with type 1 diabetes melitus.
