Insulin Requirement for Pure-protein Meal in Children With Type 1 Diabetes on Insulin Pumps.

Phase 4
Conditions
Diabetes type1
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02685449
Lead Sponsor
Medical University of Warsaw
Brief Summary

This is a randomized, cross-over study. The aim of this study is to compare the post-prandial glycaemic variability after pure protein meal following with an administration of square-wave bolus of meal-insulin or without any meal-insulin bolus on the other day.

Prolonged post-prandial glycaemic variability will be identified using the self-monitoring of blood glucose (10-point curve) and CGMS.

Detailed Description

The square-wave bolus (for meals rich in fat and/or protein) is evenly delivered over several hours as programmed by the patient. The required insulin dose will be calculated based on patient's insulin-exchange ratio. Pure protein meal will be given 3 hours after a first breakfast.

To provide the minimal impact of the previous breakfast, all patients will receive up to 120 kcal of carbohydrates and \<100 kcal from protein and fat for the first breakfast (without any extended bolus) Patients receive a standardized pure protein meal at a second breakfast time. Meal insulin will be given as a square bolus or no meal -insulin will be given at all. The 5h post-meal glucose excursions will be recorded by self-blood glucose measurements (SMBG) (every 30 minutes) and continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS). The intervention is taking part under in-patient clinical conditions.

group BInsulin aspartOn the first study day, pre-breakfast insulin was given as a square-wave bolus before a standardized pure protein meal. On the second day, insulin bolus was not given before the same standardized pure protein meal. The fat-protein-insulin ratio on both study days were identical to the patient's ratio when entering trial. Kind of study bolus insulin will be a rapid-acting insulin analog same as previously used by the participant (before entering the trial) - insulin aspart, insulin lispro or insulin glulisine
