Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare cardiac and renal oxygen consumption among subjects with type 1 diabetes treated with either multifactorial intervention or according to the current standard care. Participants are recruited from a main study /the Steno1 study) responsible for the intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are if a multifactorial intervention in subjects with type 1 diabetes targeting cardiovascular and renal risk factors, will reduce cardiac and renal oxygen demand. Participants will undergo the following examinations at 0-month, 6-month, and 24-month after enrolling in the main study: * Measurement of cardiac and real oxygen consumption (\[11C\]acetate PET/CT-scan) * Measurement of kidney function (\[99mTc\]DTPA GFR measurement) * Measurement of markers of heart and kidney disease in blood and urine samples.
