The purpose of this article is to provide the health care practitioner with a comprehensive review of the pathophysiology and treatment of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Traditionally, insulin has been administered via an insulin syringe. In the recent past, diabetes research has focused on developing more convenient insulin delivery devices and longer acting insulin's in hopes of increasing compliance with insulin therapy and improving the management of Type 1 diabetes in both children and adults. Rapidly developing approaches to insulin delivery for Type 1 diabetes continue to be developed at a rapid rate, including administration via continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in addition to other new approaches. With these advances in therapy, pediatric patients with Type 1 diabetes have been able to achieve strict glycemic control, although the treatment of hypoglycemia remains a burden. The objectives of this article are to the following: to review the epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic criteria of Type 1 diabetes mellitus in children,; to discuss the management of these patients, including, insulin therapy, monitoring, diet and exercise, carbohydrate counting and treatment of hypoglycemia,; and to review insulin administration devices, including insulin pens, insulin jet injectors, insulin pumps, and novel insulin delivery systems.

All over the world, an increase in type 1 diabetes mellitus is noted annually, along with its late complications. In recent years, more and more information has appeared aimed at the prevention and rehabilitation of children with diabetes. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a genetically determined disease, in the development of which the main component is an autoimmune process that triggers the destruction of β-cells, which leads to a decrease in insulin production, and subsequently to its absolute insufficiency, the main method of treatment is insulin replacement therapy. To select an adequate dose of insulin, it is necessary to take into account HbA1c, glycemic and glucosuric profiles. Children are advised to use semi-synthetic or genetically engineered insulins. In children, intensified insulin therapy is more often used in the form of a combination of short and medium-acting insulins or ultra-short with prolonged ones. This article presents an analysis of insulin therapy and self-control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy. It was found that children with diabetic nephropathy approached their illness less responsibly, did not always count bread units and kept records in self-control diaries. Also, this group of children were more likely to receive human insulin with the use of syringe pens. The nutrition of children with diabetes should not be inferior in calories to that of healthy adolescents, while the energy value of the daily diet should be calculated taking into account age, gender, body weight, and energy expenditures. Taking into account the possibility of regression of the initial diabetic complications when the compensation of carbohydrate metabolism is achieved, therapy for type 1 diabetes is a means of preventing the development of severe diabetic complications.

Since the autoimmune nature of type 1 diabetes mellitus came to become known some 40 years ago, continuous investigations have been carried out in an attempt to improve approaches to prognostication of this disease and develop new safe and efficacious methods for its prevention. For all that, many aspects of diabetes pathogenesis still remain far from clear. In most cases (roughly 85%), type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) develops sporadically in the absence of a relevant familial or hereditary history of this condition. Accordingly, the first-degree relatives account for only 15% of all DM1 patients. The risk of development of DM1 in the Russian population estimated by the researchers of the Children' Department, Endocrinological Research Centre, is relatively low (0.2%). It depends on many factors, such as the number of ill and healthy relatives, the chronological age of a given patient and the age of onset of clinical manifestations in his (her) relatives. Type 1 diabetes-predisposing and protective haplotypes were identified in the Russian population based on the results of molecular-genetic studies involving 599 children and adolescents with DM1. These and immunological data were used to distinguish between risk groups in the families of diabetic patients and the rationale was proposed for the dynamic follow-up of these subjects. It is concluded that estimation of the risk of type 1 diabetes mellitus based on the results of molecular-genetic studies and monitoring immunological markers constitutes the first step in the elaboration of preventive measures designed to prevent or delay the development of the disease.
