Carbohydrate counting knowledge and ambulatory glucose profile in persons living with type 1 diabetes
Authors' conclusion
In conclusion, as the Gluciquizz score was associated with metabolic control, this easy-to-use self-administered questionnaire could be used widely on a routine basis to assess the carbohydrate knowledge of T1D patients and to offer them targeted education tailored to their needs.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with T1D using different insulin regimens (CSII, MDI, HCL); mean age 40.7 ± 14.8 years, T1D duration 18.8 ± 12.1 years
- Participants
- 170 patients
- Outcome
- Correlation between GluciQuizz total score (carbohydrate counting knowledge) and TIR
- Follow-up
- CGM data for the 14 days preceding questionnaire completion

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Correlation of GluciQuizz total score with TIR
GluciQuizz total score positively correlated with time in range (TIR) (p < 0.0001)
r = 0.3001
Mean GluciQuizz total score
66 ± 13 %
Mean TIR
58.6 ± 18.7 %
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Correlation of GluciQuizz total score with TIR by insulin regimen
- CSII users (p < 0.05)
- r = 0.2526
- MDI users, not significant (p = 0.1134)
- r = 0.2510
- HCL users, not significant (p = 0.4914)
- r = −0.1065
Correlation of TIR with mean carb count error
- TIR negatively correlated with mean carb count error, all participants (p < 0.01)
- r = −0.2317
