PG - 339-348 LID - 10.1007/s13300-017-0364-2 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: The fat and protein content can impact late postprandial glycemia; therefore, prolonged insulin boluses for high-fat/-protein meals are recommended for patients with type 1 diabetes on insulin pump therapy. It is not clear how to translate these findings to multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy. We hypothesized that regular insulin with a slower onset and a longer duration of action might be advantageous for such meals. METHODS: Twenty-five patients with well-controlled type 1 diabetes (mean HbA1c 6.8%, 51 mmol/mol, no episodes of hypoglycemia) on MDI therapy, aged 27.9 +/- 4.3 years and well trained in flexible intensive insulin therapy, were given three test breakfasts with the same carbohydrate (CHO) content. The amount of fat and protein was low (LFP) or high (HFP). For LFP meals, patients received a rapid-acting insulin; for HFP meals, a rapid-acting or regular insulin was given in individual doses according to the CHO content and individual insulin-CHO ratios. Postprandial glycemia was determined by 6-h continuous glucose monitoring. RESULTS: Acute postprandial glucose levels measured for 2 h were similar after LFP and two HFP meals (7.8 +/- 2.0, 8.1 +/- 2.1, 8.0 +/- 1.9 mmol/l). Late postprandial glycemia measured from 2 to 6 h was significantly lower after the LFP meal (6.7 +/- 1.8 mmol/l, p < 0.05) than after the HFP meals, but there was no difference between the rapid-acting or regular insulin on HFP days (8.6 +/- 2.6 and 8.9 +/- 2.8 mmol/l, NS). CONCLUSION: The preliminary results of this study indicate no benefit to cover fat-protein meals with regular insulin in individuals with type 1 diabetes treated with MDI.
