Introduction: Management and treatment of diabetes mellitus type 1 and diabetes mellitus type 2 have been continuously developing and advancing. However, they are still not satisfactory enough.

The terms used in the search were: diabetes mellitus type 1, management, treatment, and advances.

Therefore, it has been essential to continuously develop methods that improve treatment and glucose control, and thus increase compliance to treatment.

The methods of insulin administration have also been developing with the increased use of insulin pumps. Keywords: diabetes mellitus type 1, management type 1 DM, advances in therapy
