Table 2

Corneal confocal microscopy parameters obtained in adolescents with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls.

	T1D	Controls	value
CNFD (n/mm^2)	21.72	25.22	0.017
CNBD (n/mm^2)	25.59	31.59	0.013
CNFL (mm/mm^2)	13.64	18.86	0.030
CNFraD	1.476	1.492	0.008
CTBD (n/mm^2)	41.82	46.06	0.214

CNBD, corneal nerve branch density; CNFD, corneal nerve fiber density; CNFL, corneal nerve fiber length; CNFraD, nerve fiber fractal dimension; CTBD, corneal nerve total branch density; N = number of fibers or branches; T1D, type 1 diabetes.
