Methods 52 Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes ages 9.3-14 participated in the study. All children received intensive insulin therapy. Glucose sensors were used for 52 measurements of 72 hours each. Children were asked to perform self monitoring of blood glucose 4-7 times a
Methods II Frequency of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, maximum and minimum readings were compared between the sensor and the selfmonitored records

Randomized controlled crossover trail
There was a marked reduction in the frequency of hypoglycemic events using CSII compared to MDI Hypoglycemic events per patient year in the CSII group: 49.3 - Mild hypoglycemia (Vs 55.4 in MDI) 0.2 Sever hypoglycemia (Vs 0.5 in MDI)

A significant decrease in HbA1c was demonstrated after the start of CSII in all age groups. The rate of sever hypoglycemic episodes decreased significantly in the adolescent group from 36.5 to 11.1 events per 100 patient-year and in the young adult group, from 58.1 to 23.3 Nimri et al ; Pediatrics Jun; 117(6):2126-31; 2006

Multi-center, randomized, cross-over study. 56 patients, aged 41.1 ± 12.2 years, treated with insulin glargine and rapid insulin analog or NPH insulin (once/twice-daily) and regular insulin for 32 weeks period. Ashwell et al Diabet Med. 2006;23:285-92 Multi-center, randomized study. 333 patients. Aged 18-70 years ( mean 35.8). 110 patients received NPH insulin treatment (once/twice-daily) and 223 patients received glargine insulin treatment (two formulations ) as basal insulin and regular insulin at meal time for 4 weeks.
Multi-center, randomized study. 619 patients aged 39.2 ± 12.2 years, were randomized to treatment with insulin glargine or to NPH insulin treatment (once/twice-daily) as basal insulin and rapid insulin analog at meal time for 16 weeks period.
