Brief Summary
It it hypothesized that children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, who are counting carbohydrates can achieve better metabolic control by concurrent use of the Accu-Chek Aviva Expert. Additionally, it is proposed that carbohydrate counting in combination with the the Accu-Chek Aviva Expert will lead to better quality of life as a result of fewer restrictions when eating and less variation in blood glucose.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
better metabolic control as assessed by HbA1C
We hypothesize that children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, who are counting carbohydrates can achieve better metabolic control as assessed by HbA1C.
12 months
Secondary Outcomes (2)
better quality of life as assessed by Hvidore questionnaire
12 months
better metabolic control as assessed by glucose variability
12 months

Interventions
This bolus calculator estimates the dose of insulin to be administrated on the basis of the following parameters: current blood glucose, grams of carbohydrate, carbohydrate to insulin ratio, insulin sensitivity, target blood glucose and quantity of insulin previously administered.
This meter is a normal glucometer without bolus calculator.
