Comparing two ways to match insulin to meals in type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests two methods for deciding how much insulin to take with meals: counting exact carbohydrates or using a simpler meal-size guide. It aims to see which approach works best for people with type 1 diabetes who already use multiple daily injections and have moderate to high blood sugar levels (HbA1c 7.5% to under 11%).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for at least one year.
- You currently take insulin with multiple daily injections (not a pump).
- You already know how to count carbohydrates (trained by a program or educator).
- Your latest HbA1c test result is between 7.5% and 11% (within 7 days before or after screening).
- You are not pregnant, and you have not had a severe low blood sugar episode or diabetic ketoacidosis in the last month.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how timing your insulin bolus (the extra insulin you take with meals) can improve blood sugar control. It involves adults with type 1 diabetes who are already using the MiniMed 780G pump with Novorapid insulin.
This study looks at how the number of meals you eat each day affects your blood sugar levels. If you have type 1 diabetes and manage your carbs, you might be able to join and learn more about your meal patterns.
This study looks at whether turning off meal announcements in automated insulin delivery systems (which adjust insulin automatically) is safe and effective for people with type 1 diabetes. It may help simplify daily diabetes management.
This trial tests MODI, a smartphone app that helps automatically adjust your insulin doses based on blood sugar readings from a continuous glucose monitor. The study checks if this system is safe and helps people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar better.
This study compares two ways of estimating meal size for people with type 1 diabetes who use automated insulin delivery systems. One method is detailed carb counting, the other is a simpler, qualitative estimate of meal size. The goal is to see which approach works better for managing blood sugar.
This study tests if a simpler way of calculating meal insulin works as well as counting carbohydrates for teens using hybrid closed loop (automated insulin) systems. If you're a teen with type 1 diabetes and use an automated pump, this trial could help find an easier mealtime routine.
