Abstract

In type 1 diabetes, flexible, intensive insulin management improves not only glycemic control but also dietary freedom and treatment satisfaction. Such flexibility has been made possible with the new insulin analogues (as part of a basal-bolus regime) and is now gaining wide applicability, especially among children and adolescents. This approach requires appropriate individualized patient education. Especially for adolescents, the clinician should be able to guarantee insightful participation in direct response to their attitudes, wishes and needs. This patient-and-doctor collaboration is an ever-challenging duty and has the potential to change the future of the individual diabetic patient.
