Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: In this experimental study the effect of different algorithms for the calculation of the prandial insulin dose on the postprandial glucose control will be be examined. An algorithm taking into account only the carbohydrate content of the meal (standard treatment in type 1 diabetes) will be tested against two algorithms takeing into account the fat and protein content of the meal (consideration of fat-protein units). The glucose development is monitored continuously by means of an interstitial glucose monitoring (FGM). The aim is to investigate with which rule for calculation of the prandial insulin dose a better postprandial glucose control can be achieved, with a continuous avoidance of postprandial hyperglycemic peaks and hypoglycemic events. ;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Primary study outcome is the percentage of glucose values in the target range of 70 to 180 mg / dl ("time in range") over a period of 8 hours after taking a standardized test meal.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Continuous interstitial glucose measurement over a period of eight hours after the start of the test meal.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): the percentage of glucose values below 70 and above 180 mg/dl, respectively, in the period of 8 hours after the test meal, the area under the curve of glucose over 8 hours after taking the test meal time, the occurrence of hypoglycemias or hyperglycemias requiring treatment (necessity of hypoglycemia treatment or the administration of additional correction insulin). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Continuous interstitial glucose measurement over a period of eight hours after the start of the test meal.
