Brief Summary
The aims of this study are two fold: To show whether there is an increased environmental or genetic susceptibility to stress in patients with T1D and whether it influences diabetes management. And to develop a strategy for the assessment and treatment of patients with T1D and an increased risk for development of psychopathology under stress.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Significant between group differences in metabolic control
Association between psychological scores, stress reactivity, genetic factors and metabolic control in patients with type 1 diabetes
1 month
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Significant differences in psychological scores between groups
1 week
Study Arms (2)
Type 1 diabetes
Children with Type 1 diabetes, age from 8 to 15 years. The following interventions/exposures will be administered: Behavioral: Psychological background determinations, Genetic: Genetic susceptibility determination, Procedure/Surgery: Cortisol release test, Procedure/Surgery: Saliva cortisol measurement.
Healthy control
Healthy primary school pupils, age from 8 to 15 years. The following interventions/exposures will be administered: Behavioral: Psychological background determinations, Genetic: Genetic susceptibility determination, Procedure/Surgery: Saliva cortisol measurement.
Interventions
For the psychological background determinations a structured interview and questionnaires will be administered: 1. Child Attachment Interview (CAI) 2. General/sociodemographic questionnaire with the questions on diabetes management, current health status and the child's development in the infancy 3. "Parenting Stress Index" with the "19-item Life Stress Scale" (PSI) 4. Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (CBCL, YSR) 5. Holmes and Rahe "Social readjustment rating scale" 6. Lifetime Incidence of Traumatic Events (LITE) - parent and child reports of child's trauma/loss history (LITE- S/ P) 7. Experiences in Close Relationships - Relationship Structures questionnaire (ECR-RS)
DNA will be isolated from the patients' blood samples and form the control subjects buccal swabs. The genes with expected influence to stress reactivity and mental disorders will be tested.
Synacthen test - will be used with the group of patients with type 1 diabetes to measure HPA axis reactivity
Saliva cortisol measurement - will be used with the patients before and after the Synacthen test and with the Hashimoto thyroiditis and the healthy control group before and after the Child Attachment Interview
Eligibility Criteria
Children of 8 to 15 years of age with type 1 diabetes with their parents; Healthy primary school pupils of 8 to 15 years of age with their parents
You may qualify if:
- Informed consent signed by a parent/legal guardian and informed assent signed by the study participant prior study entry
- Diagnosed with Type 1 DM prior to signature of Patient Informed Consent (PIC) (for the T1D group).
- Age between 8-15 years old (inclusive) at signature of PIC
- Treated by the investigator's centre prior signature of PIC (For the T1D group).
- Willing to undergo all study procedures
You may not qualify if:
- Any documented concomitant chronic disease known to affect diabetes control (e.g. altered renal function, active cancer undergoing treatment, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, Mb Addison disease)
- Any other medical, social or psychological condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes the patient unable to comply with the study protocol (e.g. intellectual disability).
