Abstract

The incidence of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing worldwide at an annual rate of around 3 % [1, 2]. Although T1D can be diagnosed at any age, around 50–60 % of patients with T1D are diagnosed before the age of 15 years, and in most Western countries, T1D accounts for over 90 % of cases of childhood and adolescent diabetes [1, 2]. Based on recent data from the International Diabetes Federation, the overall number of children younger than 14 years with T1D worldwide is 497,100, and each year there are 79,100 newly diagnosed cases [3].
