The purpose of this study is to determine whether a real-time continuous glucose monitoring system is able to improve HbA1c in patients suffering from type 1 diabetes compared to conventional finger prick glucose measurements. In addition it will investigate whether number of episodes with serious hypoglycemia is changed in those same patients, and whether quality of life (health status and treatment satisfaction) increases.
