The Steno Opti-Bolus-Timing Studies
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
High glyceamic index meal: Meal sizes are standardized regarding the amount of carbohydrate, always 50 g. The composition of these meals focuses on selecting carbohydrates with high glycemic index.
Low glyceamic index meal: Meal sizes are standardized regarding the amount of carbohydrate, always 50 g. The composition of these meals focuses on selecting carbohydrates with low glycemic index.
Study summary
The project investigates the significance of the timing of insulin dosing for breakfast and lunch with an automated insulin pump and whether it matters if the meal primarily contains high or low glycemic index carbohydrates.
We hypothesise that a bolus given 15 minutes before the meal will result in the best blood glucose levels after the meal, regardless of the type of carbohydrates.
Participants will attend 6 experimental days over a maximum of 3 months, where they will be served either breakfast or lunch at the research site, depending on sub-study (breakfast or Lunch sub-study). Three different bolus timings will be tested, with either rapidly absorbed carbohydrates or slowly absorbed carbohydrates, in a randomized order for each participant. Participants will take insulin for the meal using the bolus calculator in the pump, either 15 minutes before, at the start of the meal, or 30 minutes after the meal. The development in sensor glucose will then be monitored for up to 4 hours after the meal.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in SG between three meal bolus delivery times for meals with two levels of glycemic index — From -15 min before the meal to 270 min after meal intake
The primary objective is to compare the change in SG (from -15 min before the meal to the highest SG level measured during 0-270 min after start of meal intake) between three meal bolus delivery times for meals with two levels of glycemic index (GI) (high-GI and low-GI meals, respectively).
