BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of a low carbohydrate diet and standard carbohydrate counting on glycaemic control, glucose excursions and daily insulin use compared with standard carbohydrate counting in participants with type 1 diabetes. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Participants (n=10) with type 1 diabetes using a basal; bolus insulin regimen, who attended a secondary care cli...

OBJECTIVE Although carbohydrate counting is routine practice in type 1 diabetes, hyperglycemic episodes are common. A food insulin index (FII) has been developed and validated for predicting the normal insulin demand generated by mixed meals in healthy adults. We sought to compare a novel algorithm on the basis of the FII for estimating mealtime insulin dose with carbohydrate counting in adults...

The risk of hypoglycemia is a major barrier to intensifying medical therapy in patients with diabetes who use insulin secretagogues or exogenous insulin.1–3 By promoting the transport of blood glucose into insulin-sensitive tissues, these medications can cause hypoglycemia if their action is not counterbalanced by carbohydrate intake. Conversely, excessive carbohydrate intake can override the e...

The present study examined the long-term efficacy of insulin pump therapy for type 1 diabetes patients when carried out using carbohydrate counting with bolus calculators for 1 year. A total of 22 type 1 diabetes patients who had just started continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion were examined and divided into two groups: one that was educated about carbohydrate counting using bolus calculat...

Objective: Meal management in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) has barriers such as miscalculation of doses, insufficient carbohydrate counting and numeracy skills. “My Friend Carbohydrate Bolus Calculator” mobile app was developed a hybrid version nutrition apps insulin titration to calculate meal’s carbs the matching bolus dose. This study investigates facilitator role on lives people with T1D. Material...

OBJECTIVE Few studies have assessed the efficacy of carbohydrate counting in type 1 diabetes, and none have validated its efficacy in patients who are treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). The aim of our study was to test the effect of carbohydrate counting on glycemic control and quality of life in adult patients with type 1 diabetes who are receiving CSII. RESEARCH D...

BACKGROUND The importance of achieving and maintaining an appropriate metabolic control in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) has been established in many studies aiming to prevent the development of chronic complications. The carbohydrate counting method can be recommended as an additional tool in the nutritional treatment of diabetes, allowing patients with DM1 to have more flexible...

We aimed to investigate the effect of carbohydrate counting on metabolic and clinical parameters in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) who were on flexible multiple daily insulin therapy. Nine volunteer adolescent patients using intensive insulin treatment (short acting insulin before meal plus two doses of long acting insulin (NPH) per day) were enrolled in the study. Clinical and met...
