Addressees and objectives

This guideline is directed at all people with type 1 diabetes and all occupational groups that care for people with type 1 diabetes, especially:

  • Registered diabetologists,

  • General practitioners and internists,

  • Doctors working in hospitals (diabetes specialists, anaesthesiologists, surgeons, radiologists),

  • Nurses/professional caregivers (in the operating theatre and/or wards or in the field of diagnostics) and

  • Outpatient or inpatient diabetes consultants and other professional groups in diabetology.

In addition, the guideline is directed at higher-level institutions such as health insurance companies or medical services.

In preparing and updating these guidelines, the authors pursue the following objectives:

  1. Reduce the rate of diabetes-associated complications. The diagnosis and treatment of lipodystrophy is also described for the first time;

  2. Improve the quality of life of people with type 1 diabetes;

  3. Contribute to the adequate care of people with type 1 diabetes in hospitals, both in regular and intensive care units. In particular, the implementation of safe protocols to protect against hypoglycaemia in intravenous insulin therapy should be supported;

  4. Ensure correct treatment of acute complications and thus reduce the risk of complications due to treatment;

  5. Reinforce the correct training of people with type 1 diabetes, especially in the outpatient sector.
