A prospective follow-up of a random sample of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus revealed a marked decompensation of carbohydrate metabolism in 98% of the examinees, a high incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis, a long duration of temporary invalidity, and poor adherence of patients to medical recommendations. Assessment of primary health care rendered to patients with type 1 diabetes at district outpatient clinics of Moscow demonstrated its poor efficacy and a necessity to improve the level of specialized diabetologic care.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM 1A) is an autoimmune disease belonging to the most frequent chronic diseases of the childhood and young adults. DM 1A results from immune-mediated destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. It is a genetically determined disease and many genes or genetic regions were found to be associated with its induction. In addition to the insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus 1 (IDDM1) gene, which marks the HLA region, and IDDM2 which marks the insulin gene, significant associations of DM 1A to other IDMM genes or genetic regions we reported. We shortly review recent achievements in the field, and the state of current knowledge.

A patient with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 1 diabetes) was admitted to hospital after complaining of general fatigue and weight loss. To control hyperglycaemia, the patient was given a conventional form of insulin subcutaneously twice daily. Although this conventional insulin replacement therapy effectively controlled the symptoms, it did not improve the metabolic state and eventually the patient was re-admitted due to a worsening of his condition. The patient was then given a new preparation of both short- and intermediate-acting forms of insulin, administered twice daily using a new, ‘dial-a-dose’ pen delivery system. Comparative studies of blood insulin dynamics revealed that this new method of delivery resulted in a circadian blood glucose pattern closely approximating normal levels, the complete elimination of subjective symptoms and the normalization of basal insulin secretory patterns. The clear superiority of the new delivery system and the combination insulins in relation to the quality of life of this patient is demonstrated.
