Abstract
The treatment aim in type 1 diabetes is to mimic the physiological insulin release by multiple injection therapy. Therefore, intensified conventional or insulin pump therapy with multiple insulin injections is used (ICT or CSII). These therapies aim to reach near normal blood glucose levels. New insulin analogues and structured patient education improved the therapeutic results. The DCCT showed a significant reduction of microvascular complications through ICT in comparison to conventional therapy (CT) with two injections of premixed insulin. It has been shown that preserving the beta cell reserve reduces complications of type 1 diabetes. Therefore, in future C-peptid preserving therapies will probably be important.
