History of Changes

Purpose

To determine whether using a long-acting insulin analog at the time of diagnosis, instead of intermediate-acting insulin, affects the rate of loss of the body's ability to make insulin in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Detemir 24 subjects randomized to therapy with a combination of insulins detemir and aspart at diagnosis of diabetes.	Drug: Insulin detemir Dosage adjusted to meet age-specific glycemic goals throughout course of study. Other Name: Levemir

Experimental: NPH 24 subjects randomized to therapy with a combination of insulins NPH and aspart at diagnosis of diabetes.	Drug: NPH Dosage to be adjusted to meet age specific glycemic goals throughout course of study.

Eligibility


Ages Eligible for Study:	6 Years to 18 Years (Child, Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:	All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes within 1 week of diagnosis
Age 6 - 18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

Actual treatment with oral drugs influencing beta cell function or blood glucose levels (e.g. oral hypoglycemic agents)
Actual treatment with drugs influencing insulin sensitivity (e.g. Metformin, or systemic steroids)
Significant concomitant disease likely to interfere with glucose metabolism (children with active bacterial infections at the time of diagnosis must be cured prior to entry)
Expected poor compliance
Pregnancy
Any other condition that by the judgement of the investigator may be potentially harmful to the patients
