The present therapeutic estrategy for the insulin-dependent diabetic is analyzed. It is stressed the need of attaining normoglycaemia as a criterion of metabolic control expressed in normal values of glycosylated hemoglobin or HB Alc quarterly. Emphasis shoud be made on the education received by the diabetic patients in connection with the disease, reinforcing it at every office visit, and reevaluating it periodically. Being on a diet is very important, too. We should use highly purified insulin with insulin schemes based mainly on mixtures of insulins or regimes of multiple doses of insulin. It is necessary that the patient attains the glycaemic control. We should try to locate and study the possible risk groups that may develop this disease
