Postprandial Glycemic Control With Automated Insulin Delivery With Control‐ IQ Technology: The Impact of Meal Composition

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Prospective crossover study

Authors' conclusion

Despite a substantial autonomous increase in insulin delivery, AID systems using Control-IQ technology and a standard CHC-based pre-meal bolus have not achieved adequate postprandial glycemic control after HF and HP meals.

Study context

Population
Adolescents with T1D using AID (Tandem Tslim X2 with Control-IQ); Carbohydrate counting (CHC)-based bolus 15 min before each meal
Participants
25 adolescents
Exposure
High-fat (HF) and high-protein (HP) meals vs standard meal with AID and CHC-based premeal bolus
Outcome
Time in range (TIR) (70-180 mg/dL)
Follow-up
6 h

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

HF vs Standard meal: P < 0.01 · HP vs Standard meal: P < 0.001

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Safety

More insulin delivered without increasing hypoglycemia
