A randomized, controlled, parallel, open-label 26-week clinical trial will be conducted in 106 pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups: the group A (n=53) using ELKa system for food exchange counting and the group B (n= 53) using standard method. The glycated hemoglobin levels will be measured in both groups at the beginning, after 3 and 6 months of observation. The group A also will be asked about the frequency of using the toolset. We will also assess secondary endpoints (mentioned below).
