title: [Improving home auto-control in diabetic children: reducing atherogenic risk].
abstract: Insulin-dependent Diabetes (IDDM) is a major endocrine abnormality in children and the greatest morbi-mortality problems for diabetic patients are those related to cardiovascular complications (macro-microangiopaties), where kept hyperlipidemia and hyperglucemia play a fundamental patogenic role. The programs for optimization of home autocontrol have reduced frequent metabolic derangements. The aim of this study was to analyze the metabolic control state and its relationships with plasma lipids and atherogenic ratios in diabetic patients that were submitted to a program for optimization of home autocontrol of this illness.
  
  
  METHODS
  Blood samples were taken fom 49 IDDM, aged 10.53 +/- 0.51 (+/- SEM) years old, with a mean evolution period of 4.34 +/- 0.38 years, at the begining of the program (Stage I) and 6 months later (Stage II). Biochemical Analysis: Total Cholesterol (TC), cholesterol joined to high density lipoprotein (HDLc), Triglycerides (TG) and Phospholipids (Ph) were measured by microspectrphotometric methods. Cholesterol joined to very low and low density lipoproteins (VLDLc and LDLc, respectively) were calculated by Friedwald's formula. Apoproteins A and B (Apo A and Apo B) were measured using Mancini's method, Glycemia levels (Gly) by peroxidase's method, Glycosilated Serum Protein (GSP) by colormetric's method and Glycosilated haemoglobine (HbA1c) by chromatographic separation using cationic interchange microcolumns.
  
  
  RESULTS
  65% of the patients showed a significant decrease in plasma levels of Gly, GSP and HbA1c percentage between Stages I and II (Favourable Metabolic Control).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
