Real-time vs flash monitoring for T1D

Real-time vs flash monitoring for T1D

Posted by on Sep 20, 2020 in Diabetes mellitus | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study compared real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to flash CGM for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). It found that real-time CGM led to better glucose control and less hypoglycemia, both during daily activity and exercise. Some background Patients with T1D are unable to create the hormone insulin to regulate blood...

Do different meals affect glucose levels in people using an artificial pancreas?

Posted by on Jul 3, 2018 in Diabetes mellitus | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study examined the effects of adding protein and/or fat to a meal with a standard amount of carbohydrates, in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using an artificial pancreas (AP). It was determined adding protein and/or fat did not affect glucose levels over time, but did influence the timing of spikes in glucose levels, and...
