  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.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • C-peptide area under the curve in response to a mixed meal tolerance test 6 months after diagnosis of diabetes. [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

 Drug: Insulin detemir
Dosage adjusted to meet age-specific glycemic goals throughout course of study.
Other Name: Levemir
Experimental: Glargine
24 subjects randomized to therapy with a combination of insulins glargine and aspart at diagnosis of diabetes.
 Drug: Glargine
Dosage to be adjusted to meet age-specific glycemic goals throughout course of study.
Other Name: Lantus
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
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes within 1 week of diagnosis
  • Age 6 - 18 years
  • Care provided at Children's Medical Center, Dallas

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
