Principal Investigator: Marian Rewers, M.D., Ph.D.

Subjects are needed to participate in a 3-year study looking at heart disease. The purpose of the study is to look for calcium deposits in the coronary arteries, which may indicate the early development of heart disease. The study involves one visit now, and a follow-up visit in 3 years. We will be recruiting 800 people who have Type 1 Diabetes and 600 non-diabetic controls. The spouse or live-in partner of diabetic participants may also participate as a control subject.

Major Eligibility Criteria:

For Diabetic participants:
• Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes by age 30
• Started on insulin with one year of diagnosis and currently on insulin
• Must have had diabetes for at least 10 years

For non-diabetic Controls:

• Not a child, parent or sibling of a diabetic participant or another control.

For ALL participants:
