    Abstract:
    The sonographically determined length of uterus in 100 insulin-dependent diabetic girls of the age-classes 1964 to 1974 are considered in relation to diabetes mellitus. In order to recognise the possibility of a disturbed development of the inner genitals during puberty of juvenile diabetics, the uterus development is considered in relation to ossification age, duration of diabetes, and to the period before or after the 10th year of age as well as before respectively after menarche. Before the 16th year of age the growth curves of the uterus in all metabolism groups show non-significant delays, which are difficult to interpret. Up to the 18th year the course of the curves reach a similar standard of development--that is an average of 60 mm. In order to determine the precise moment of the diagnostic and therapeutic activity in delayed puberty development, it seems to us appropriate to use the sonographic measurement of the uterus length in addition to the definition of ossification age.
