Patient flow diagram. Type 1DM patients seen in the Endocrinology service for their yearly revision will be invited to participate in the study (Researchers 6, 7 and 8). Those willing to participate will give informed consent and will be referred to the Ophthalmology service for a complete eye examination (Researcher 5) which include capture of a comprehensive battery of OCT and OCTA image datasets (Researcher 9). These images will be evaluated (Principal investigator and researchers 1–4) and processed with commercial and research softwares (Researcher 10) to obtain objective measurements of OCTA derived parameters (i.e. vessel density, etc.) which will be correlated to systemic markers (i.e. glycated haemoglobin, etc.)
