Structured Carbohydrate-Counting Education in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes
Sponsor: Acibadem University
Summary
This study evaluated changes in glycemic outcomes following a structured carbohydrate-counting education program in adults with type 1 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Participants received an individualized, three-level carbohydrate-counting education program delivered by a diabetes dietitian over 12 weeks. Glycemic outcomes, including time in range, time above range, time below range, glycemic variability, and HbA1c, were assessed at baseline and after the education program. Changes in insulin requirements, body weight, and dietary intake were also evaluated. In addition, individually determined insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios were compared with estimates calculated using conventional formula-based approaches.
Official title: The Evaluation of the Effects of Structured Carbohydrate-Counting Education on Glycemic Control, Insulin Requirements, Anthropometric Measurements, and Dietary Intake in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes.
