Does Protein and Fat Content of Meal Increase Glucose Concentrations

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Registration Number
NCT03333525
Lead Sponsor
TC Erciyes University
Brief Summary

The study investigated the effects of fat protein counting (CFP) in addition to carbohydrate (CARB) counting for calculating prandial insulin dosage on blood glucose profile in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on basal-bolus insulin therapy.

Detailed Description

In this single center, crossover, randomized, controlled study, control meal (SM: standard meal using carbohydrate counting method) and three test meals (HPM: high protein meal using carbohydrate counting method, HPFM-a: high protein-fat meal using carbohydrate counting method and HPFM-b: high protein-fat meal using carbohydrate and fat-protein counting method) were compared on postprandial early (0-120 minutes), late (120-240 minutes) and total (0-240 minutes) glucose response.
