| Abstract | IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD: Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disease in childhood. The global incidence of diabetes emphasizes the health, social and financial magnitude of this disease and the importance of optimizing disease management and prevention. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW: This article reviews the treatments options for type 1 and 2 diabetes in children, focusing on insulin regimens and new alternative therapies. WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN: The treatment goals for children with diabetes mellitus are to achieve normal development with prevention of complications. Insulin is the primary medication in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. New therapeutic options and prevention strategies (cellular therapies, immunomodulation and vaccination) aim to preserve residual beta-cell function. There are limited data about the effectiveness and safety of treatment strategies for type 2 diabetes. Many oral agents are approved only for use in adults and have not been yet studied in children. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Therapy regimens should be adapted to the lifestyle of individual patients to achieve optimal blood glucose control. The replacement of beta-cells, preservation of the residual beta-cell function and investigation of additional oral treatment options, present a hope for a cure. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
