Clinical Trial Summary

Evaluation of interests of the functional insulin therapy (FIT Therapy) on metabolic control, hypoglycemia prevention and life quality of diabetics children insulin-dependent treated with insulin pump.


Description:

Open multicenter randomized study of one year, evaluating two groups of 44 children with diabetes mellitus (diabetes over 1 year) treated with insulin pump, one group by traditional way (fixed doses of insulin and meals providing stable quantities complex carbohydrates) and the other group by FIT Therapy.
