title: [Selected clinical characteristics of insulin dependent diabetes (IDDM) discovered in the years 1990-1992 in patients 0-29 years of age from the Rzeszów voivodship].
abstract: The aim of the study was to analyse the clinical symptoms preceding the final diagnosis of IDDM, some features of the illness at the moment of the diagnosis and variants of treatment. We examined 54 patients, among them 28 males and 26 females. There were 23 and 31 persons between 0-14 and 15-29 years of age, respectively. The data were accumulated using questionnaires. We have shown that the newly diagnosed IDDM cases were characterised by typical clinical symptoms, early detection and 100% hospitalization. Most of the patients or their parents underwent the diabetic education during the patients first stay at hospital. Only monocomponent or human insulins were used in the case of patients between 0-14 years of age. Among the group 15-29 years of age in 13% of patients ordinary insulins (regular, NPH, Lente group) were administered as well. Intensive insulin therapy was used exclusively, but sporadically in the patients 15-29 years of age.
