Using Simplified Meal Boluses Versus Carbohydrate Counting in Adolescents With Hybrid Closed Loop Systems

Using Simplified Meal Boluses Versus Carbohydrate Counting in Adolescents With Hybrid Closed Loop Systems: A Randomized Crossover Trial


Sponsor

University of Colorado, Denver

Enrollment

40 participants

Start Date

Nov 25, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this trial is to evaluate blood sugar control in patients with type 1 diabetes when using a simple meal bolus strategy (small, medium, large meals) compared to carbohydrate counting when on a hybrid closed loop system. The main question it aims to answer are: What is the blood sugar time in range when using simple meal boluses versus carbohydrate counting? Participants will: Use the simple meal bolus plan for 4 weeks. Do precise carbohydrate counting for 4 weeks. Provide their continuous glucose monitor and pump data Take surveys about the experience of meal bolusing during the study


Eligibility

Min Age: 14 YearsMax Age: 26 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether a simpler, fixed meal insulin dose works as well as the traditional method of counting carbohydrates for teenagers using a hybrid closed-loop insulin pump (sometimes called an artificial pancreas). **You may be eligible if...** - You are an adolescent with type 1 diabetes diagnosed at least 1 year ago - You are already using a commercial hybrid closed-loop insulin pump system - You are willing to follow study instructions and not start new glucose-lowering medications during the study **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have other major health conditions that would make the study unsafe - You are unwilling or unable to commit to all study procedures Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALSimple Meal Bolusing

Participants will enter pre-determined numbers for small, medium, or large carbohydrate meals rather than using precise carbohydrate counting

BEHAVIORALCarbohydrate counting

Participants will be instructed to enter accurate carbohydrate counts to the best of their ability for all meals and snacks
