Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with increasing prevalence (1) The incidence of diabetes mellitus type 1 varies among regions and is estimated to be between 14-25/100000 inhabitants in middle Europe(2) (3) and > 40 /100000 inhabitants in northern European countries (4). Due to an auto-immune- mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells, patients are required to regular insulin substitution. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is associated to short (hypo-and hyperglycaemia) and long term (retinopathy, nephropathy, peripheral and autonomic neuropathy) complications. Long term complications are clearly associated to metabolic stability of diabetes (5). Metabolic stability itself depends on insulin treatment strategy, individual insulin needs, general health status, and treatment adherence.. Studies show a specially poor prognosis in young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (6) (7) (8)
