The register of patients with diabetes mellitus is appropriate to implement for specification of diagnoses of death of persons registered in this registry. The new version of "The record chart of registration and monitoring of patient with diabetes mellitus" increased information value of register for verifying causes of death at the expense of adding indices of organization of observation of diabetes mellitus and concretization of complications of diabetes mellitus. The information concerning development of complications of diabetes mellitus including the forms the most dangerous for life is very important for rectifying chain ofpathological conditions resulted in death and as a consequence proper determination of initial cause. However, a number of informational and organizational problems are to be resolved to implement information about patients with diabetes mellitus (and other chronic diseases) with purpose of verifying causes of death. First, it is reasonable to make information of specialized registers available to medical specialists providing medical care related to other diseases. The easiest way of searching patient in various registers and data bases is on the basis of one’s personal number of insurance certificate and individual taxation number. The application of two authenticators increases validity of the system of medical information interchange. Second, corrections are to be made in register ofpatients with diabetes mellitus. To correct the record chart of striking individuals with diabetes mellitus off the register can be implemented by two ways. One, to leave empty fields in column "immediate cause of death" and to add subsection "initial cause of death" transferring points of subsection 3.5 to the new subsection. Two, to substitute name of subsection 3.5 with "initial cause of death". Hence, the column "diseases that favored coming of death" is unnecessary in the register of patients with diabetes mellitus.
