Methods:

80 type 1 patients will be randomly divided into two groups (e.g. mentoring program group and control group). All patients will receive routine check up and blood test for ordinary type 1 patients. In addition, program group patients should register their SMBG, exercise, food intake and insulin dose on the website designed for this study and receive advices of mentors from peer group. Every patient will submit questionnaire on the first day of the study and the last day(after 12 weeks) of the study.

Read the detailed description

Subjects with T1DM on intensive insulin therapy and with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥8.0% were randomized to mentored (glucometer transmission with feedback from mentors) or control (glucometer transmission without feedback) groups and were examined for 12 weeks. Five mentors were interviewed and selected, of which two were T1DM patients themselves and three were parents with at least one child diagnosed with T1DM since more than 5 years ago.
