Abstract:: The aim of all diabetes treatment in childhood and adolescence is to counteract the development of complications (acute as well as late), to achieve normal growth and development, and to provide the patients with as good as possible a quality of life. Many studies have confirmed the benefits of intensified medical management regarding the prevalence and/or the progression of diabetic microvascular complications. Intensified medical management means of course much more than intensified insulin substitution; diabetes care includes diet, physical exercise, diabetes education, continuous monitoring, and psychosocial support. To improve the outcome of patients with diabetes mellitus, optimizing structure quality is one of the goals. A number of prerequisites (regarding the social-socioeconomic-health care system) are not yet fulfilled everywhere; structures necessary to provide qualified diabetes care (e.g. pediatric diabetes center, team of experts, outpatient care) are not yet sufficiently available in some areas. According to both the declarations of St. Vincent and of Kos, every effort should be made to enhance structure quality in an attempt to improve the situation and the outcome of our young patients with diabetes.
