Background: A good metabolic control in preschool children with type 1 diabetes (DM1) is particularly challenging, being easier and safer with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) compared with multiple daily injections (MDI).Objective and hypotheses: Evaluate and compare metabolic control of preschool children with DM1, before and 9 months after CSII therapy.Method: Analytical retrospective study of children under the a...

Background: Functional insulin therapy allows precise insulin adjustments to achieve normoglycaemia.Objective and hypotheses: To assess metabolic control (A1c) and lipid profile in children and adolescents with DM1 in a 3-year period under multiple daily injections (MDI) since the diagnosis.Method: Retrospective analysis of children and adolescents under functional insulin therapy since the diagnosis of DM1. The variables studied w...

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (1DM) is a common chronic disease of childhood. Treatment targets the best metabolic control in order to prevent long-term complications.Objective: To evaluate metabolic control in children and adolescents with 1DM along the years. Methods: Retrospective study including 1DM children and adolescents with more than 2 years of disease. Data were collected at 2005 and at 2012: sex, age at diagnosis, therapy in the last ye...
