Type 1 diabetes mellitus patients on intensive insulin therapy use advanced carbohydrate counting to proper dose prandial insulin. Therefore, the patient’s ability accurately estimate meal’s content is paramount. However, despite its significance, several studies show that estimates far from ideal and identify need for continuous education counting. In this context, authors have proposed in pre...

Objective: Carbohydrate counting is an effective approach to mealtime insulin adjustment in type 1 diabetes, but has not been rigorously assessed in type 2 diabetes. Research and Design Methods: This 24-week, multicenter, randomized, controlled study compared two algorithms for adjusting mealtime (glulisine) insulin along with a standard algorithm for adjusting background (glargine) insulin in ...

BACKGROUND Postprandial glucose excursions contribute significantly to average blood glucose, glycaemic variability and cardiovascular risk. Carbohydrate counting is a method of insulin dosing that balances carbohydrate load to insulin dose using a fixed ratio. Many patients and current insulin pumps calculate insulin delivery for meals based on a linear carbohydrate-to-insulin relationship. It...

Abstract Diet has been central for the management of type 1 diabetes over three thousand years, and discovery insulin in 1921 was associated with introduction formal dietary education. Carbohydrate soon identified as macronutrient responsible postprandial glucose excursions past one hundred interventions have alternated between severe carbohydrate restriction so‐called free diets. The very low ...

Nowadays, the introduction of so-called ‘diabetes technology’, either hardware/device or software, to different aspects day-to-day living in patients with diabetes aims improve blood glucose control and various lifestyle features. The coordination vast context education/training, particularly area medical nutrition therapy, is considered as a great concern. On other hand, Iranian food culture c...

For patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), accurate carbohydrate counting (CC) is essential for successful blood glucose regulation. Unfortunately, mistakes are common and may lead to an incorrect dosage of prandial insulin. In this work, we aim demonstrate that each person has their own limits CC errors, which can be computed using patient-specific data. To validate the proposed method...
