Abstract
Type 1 diabetes is a disease caused by absolute insulin
deficiency. Cases are found in a growing number of
children, adolescents and young adults. Treatment
of choice for type 1 diabetes is a method of intensive
functional insulin therapy. In most patients it is
implemented using pens. However, in recent years
an increasing number of patients treated with
a personal insulin pump. This therapy requires
adequate preparation by the patient, but also the
treatment team. (Diabet. Prakt. 2011, vol. 12, no 4,
