This is a French national study that will follow 15,000 people with type 1 diabetes for up to 10 years (with some follow-up continuing for 30 years) to understand what causes heart disease and other serious complications in people with diabetes. The study uses regular clinic visits every 3 years and online check-ins in between to gather information about your health, blood samples, and how you're doing. Researchers hope to discover new warning signs that help predict and prevent these complications.
People with type 1 diabetes face a higher risk of heart disease and other serious health problems, but doctors don't fully understand all the factors that cause these complications. This study aims to identify new risk factors beyond the ones we already know about, so treatments can be improved in the future.

You will visit a clinic or hospital every 3 years for check-ups, blood tests, and health questionnaires. Between visits, you'll complete online surveys and health updates through a patient portal. Over 10 years, you'll be actively involved in the study, and some participants may be passively followed (through medical records) for an additional 20 years. The study involves no experimental medications — just monitoring your existing diabetes care and collecting information to help researchers understand your health.
