Evaluation of an Automated Insulin Delivery System in the Management of Postprandial Glucose Levels During a Pediatric School Camp: The Control-IQ Potato Challenge

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Crossover study

Authors' conclusion

Despite differences in glycemic index and fat content, the Tandem t:slim X2 Control-IQ system effectively maintained satisfactory glucose control within the 3-h post-meal period for both fried and boiled potatoes.
