Review[Diabetes mellitus in childhood and adolescence (Update 2019)].
In contrast to adults, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is the most frequent form of diabetes in childhood and adolescence (>95%). After diagnosis the management of children and adolescents with T1D should take place in highly specialized pediatric units experienced in pediatric diabetology and not in private practices. ⋯ The Austrian working group for pediatric endocrinology and diabetes (APEDÖ) recommends a metabolic goal of HbA1c ≤7.0%, International Federation for Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) <53 mmol/mol, for all pediatric age groups without the presence of severe hypoglycemia. Age-related physical, cognitive and psychosocial development, avoidance of acute diabetes-related complications (severe hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis) and prevention of diabetes-related late complications to ensure high quality of life are the main goals of diabetes treatment in all pediatric age groups.
