Abstract: The prevalence of sarcopenia in type 1 diabetes is higher than that in type 2 diabetes and non-diabetes patients. Screening, diagnosis and intervention of sarcopenia in type 1 diabetes patients as early as possible is of great significance for improving the life quality of these patients. The occurrence of sarcopenia in type 1 diabetes mellitus may be closely related to the decline of skeletal muscle function caused by the decrease of insulin-like growth factor-1, activation of inflammatory factors, mitochondrial dysfunction, and accumulation of advanced glycation end-products. At present, the mechanism of the occurrence and development of sarcopenia induced by type 1 diabetes is not completely clear, and the relevant new drug treatment lacks data support. Further in-depth research may bring a new direction for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in type 1 diabetes patients.

Key words: type 1 diabetes mellitus, sarcopenia, epidemiological, pathogenesis, treatment
