1. People with T1DM should receive structured education to adjust their insulin doses on their own, allowing for flexible eating. [Randomized controlled trial, general recommendation] |
2. The educational understanding and self-management skills of adults with T1DM should be assessed and feedback given consistently and regularly from the time of diagnosis. [Expert opinion, general recommendation] |
3. For children and adolescents with T1DM and their parents or caregivers, personalized self-management education appropriate for the developmental stages of children and adolescents should be provided from the time of diagnosis. This should be regularly reassessed as the children or adolescents grow and their capacity for independent self-management evolves. [Expert opinion, general recommendation] |
4. Adults with T1DM who have experienced hypoglycemia unawareness or symptomatic hypoglycemia (SH) should receive professional and specialized education to prevent hypoglycemia and restore hypoglycemia awareness. [Randomized controlled trial, general recommendation] |
5. Treat adults with T1DM using multiple daily injections (MDIs) of prandial and basal insulin or insulin pumps (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion). [Randomized controlled trial, general recommendation] |
6. In adults with T1DM on multiple daily insulin injection therapy, rapid-acting insulin analogs and basal insulin analogs should be used preferentially. [Randomized controlled trial, general recommendation] |
