Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are biomarkers for metabolic stress and can be detected in skin collagen non-invasively via skin intrinsic fluorescence techniques (SIF). AGE have been linked to complications in T1D and to mortality in both hemodialysis and type 2 diabetes patients. However, th...
