Diet, menstrual cycle, and blood sugar in type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how dietary fat and the menstrual cycle affect blood sugar control in people with type 1 diabetes who use an advanced hybrid closed-loop insulin pump. It aims to help tailor diet and insulin management.
