- Brief Summary
The investigators hypothesize that non-optimally treated carbohydrate counting-naïve patients with type 1 diabetes can achieve better metabolic control by counting carbohydrates and that the metabolic control can be further improved with concurrent use of an integrated glucose meter and bolus calculator.
