Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a disease with constantly increasing incidence. Acquiring knowledge and diabetes skills is an invariable and important part of the disease treatment during all life cycles.

The results received in the current study show that there is, although weak, association between the level of education and the glycaemic control, the presence of dyslipidaemia, and obesity in patients with T1DM with long duration.
