The goal of this paper is to characterize the glycemic profiles of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus like a strategy in insulin adjustments. A total of 3259 tests were realized being 781 before breakfast, 752 before lunch, 765 before dinner and 740 before bed and 221 in the dawn. The average of the blood glucose tests in these periods oversteped the superior limits in 6,87%, 3,83%, 11,37%, 30,50% e 19,28% respectively. These data gave the conditons to make the insulin adjustments. The HbA1c levels evidenced that there was no significant statistical difference in the metabolic control, but they remained in 10%.Downloads
