초록

Background: In contrast to type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) requires insulin treatment to control blood glucose. As the incidence and prevalence of T1DM have steadily increased; therefore, T1DM is increasingly being diagnosed not only in children and adolescents, but also in adults. Therefore, the importance of accurate diagnosis and optimal management of T1DM is being recognized in clinical practice.
Current Concepts: T1DM is caused by insulin deficiency, following the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells. Diagnosis of diabetes is based on the following criteria: fasting blood glucose levels ≥126 mg/dL, random blood glucose levels ≥200 mg/dL accompanied by symptoms of hyperglycemia, an abnormal 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test, or glycated hemoglobin ≥6.5%. Accurate diagnosis of T1DM based on patients’ clinical characteristics, serum C-peptide levels, and detection of autoantibodies against β-cell autoantigens is important for optimum care and to avoid complications. A target glycated hemoglobin level is recommended in children, adolescents, and young adults with access to comprehensive care. The availability of insulin analogues and mechanical technologies (insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors) has improved the management of T1DM, and these are useful for the prevention of microvascular complications. Screening for microvascular complications should commence at puberty or 5 years after diagnosis of T1DM.
Discussion and Conclusion: Effective cooperation and coordination between patient, parents, and healthcare providers are necessary to achieve a successful transition from pediatric to adult care in patients with T1DM. Diabetic management for T1DM should be individualized based on patients’ lifestyle, as well as psychosocial, and medical circumstances.
