Abstract

Because of the low incidence of type 1 diabetes in Korea, some Korean patients with type 1 diabetes are still being treated like type 2 diabetes patients. In 2011, the national health insurance launched a reimbursement program for the use of blood glucose test strips in type 1 diabetes. The initiation of the reimbursement program could provide an opportunity to assess the national status of type 1 diabetes management. In this context, we will discuss the lessons from the studies involving major national type 1 diabetes registries and the results of recent studies on multiple daily injection of insulin, continuous glucose monitoring, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, use of sensor-augmented insulin pumps, and the structure education program for patients with type 1 diabetes.
