title: [Prevention of diabetes mellitus type 1].
abstract: Primary prevention of type 1 diabetes is as yet not feasible. In contrast, prevention of acute and chronic complications of type 1 diabetes is highly effective. With a near normal blood glucose control the appearance and progression of microvascular complications (i.e. retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy) can be significantly reduced. Intensive insulin therapy is the gold standard for treatment of type 1 diabetes.
