Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 34:2143-2154. [PMID: 38866607 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2024.04.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Low-carbohydrate-diets (LCDs) are gaining popularity in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the impact of such diets on glycemia and cardiovascular risk factors is debated. This study aims to evaluate associations between low-carbohydrate intakes using LCD score with glycemia and cardiovascular risk factors (lipid profile) in adults with T1D or LADA in Québec, Canada. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a cross-sectional study using data collected in the BETTER registry (02/2019 and 04/2021) including self-reported 24-h dietary recalls to calculate LCD scores, waist circumference, level-2 and level-3 hypoglycemic episodes and measured biochemical data (HbA1c, LDL-cholesterol and non-HDL-cholesterol). Participants were divided into quartiles (Q) based on LCD scores. Two hundred eighty-five adults (aged 48.2 ± 15.0 years; T1D duration 25.9 ± 16.2 years) were included. Categorical variables underwent Chi-squared/Fisher's Exact tests, while continuous variables underwent ANOVA tests. Mean carbohydrate intake ranged from 31.2 ± 6.9% (Q1) to 56.5 ± 6.8% (Q4) of total daily energy. Compared to Q4, more people in Q1 reported HbA1c ≤ 7% [≤53.0 mmol/mol] (Q1: 53.4% vs. Q4: 29.4%; P = 0.011). The same results were found in the models adjusted for age, sex and T1D duration. A greater proportion of participants in Q1 never experienced level-3 hypoglycemia compared to Q3 (Q1: 60.0% vs. Q3: 31.0%; P = 0.004). There were no differences across quartiles for frequency of level-2 hypoglycemia events and lipid profile (LDL-cholesterol and non-HDL-cholesterol). CONCLUSIONS Low-carbohydrate intakes are associated with higher probabilities of reaching HbA1c target and of never having experienced level-3 hypoglycemia. No associations with level-2 hypoglycemia frequency, nor cardiovascular risk factors were observed.

Abstract
Background: The advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) algorithm combines automated basal rates and corrections yet requires meal announcement for optimal performance, which poses a challenge for some. We aimed to compare glucose control in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using the MiniMedTM 780G AHCL system, utilizing simplified meal announcement versus precise carbohydrate (CHO) counting. Methods: In a study involving 14 adults with T1D, we evaluated glycemic control during a 13-week "precise phase," followed by two 3- to 4-week simplified meal announcement phases: "fixed one-step" (preset of one personalized fixed CHO amount) and "multistep" (entry of multiples of one, two, or three of these presets depending on meal size estimate). Results: The mean age was 45.7 ± 12.4, and 10 participants were male (71%). Mean baseline HbA1c was 6.8% ± 1.2% and time in range (TIR) was 67.5% ± 16.7%. Comparing the fixed one-step to the precise study phase, TIR was similar (75.4 ± 13% vs. 77.7 ± 9%, P = 0.12), and glucose management indicator (GMI) was slightly higher (6.8 ± 0.4 vs. 6.6 ± 0, P = 0.01). Furthermore, there was less level 1 and 2 hypoglycemia (1.6 ± 1% vs. 2.8 ± 2%, P = 0.03 and 0.3 ± 5% vs. 0.65 ± 1%, P = 0.08) but slightly more level 1 and 2 hyperglycemia (17.1 ± 8% vs. 15.0 ± 7%, P = 0.05 and 5.5 ± 5% vs. 3.6 ± 3%, P = 0.04). When comparing the multistep with the precise phase, GMI was identical (6.6%) and TIR superior (80.5 ± 10% vs. 77.7 ± 9%, P = 0.02). Additionally, there was less level 1 hypoglycemia (1.9 ± 1% vs. 2.8 ± 2%, P = 0.01) and a trend for less level 2 hypoglycemia (0.4 ± 0.7% vs. 0.65 ± 1%, P = 0.08). Conclusions: A simplified meal announcement strategy for adults using the MiniMed 780G system, relying on three increments of a fixed one-step CHO amount, may offer a way to improve glycemic control and ease self-care. For patients with more limitations, using one fixed one-step CHO amount could be a safe alternative to meeting most consensus glycemic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite remarkable progress in diabetes technology, most systems still require estimating meal carbohydrate (CHO) content for meal-time insulin delivery. Emerging smartphone applications may obviate this need, but performance data in relation to patient estimates remain scarce. OBJECTIVE The objective is to assess the accuracy of two commercial CHO estimation applications, SNAQ and Calorie Mama, and compare their performance with the estimation accuracy of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS Carbohydrate estimates of 53 individuals with T1D (aged ≥16 years) were compared with those of SNAQ (food recognition + quantification) and Calorie Mama (food recognition + adjustable standard portion size). Twenty-six cooked meals were prepared at the hospital kitchen. Each participant estimated the CHO content of two meals in three different sizes without assistance. Participants then used SNAQ for CHO quantification in one meal and Calorie Mama for the other (all three sizes). Accuracy was the estimate's deviation from ground-truth CHO content (weight multiplied by nutritional facts from recipe database). Furthermore, the applications were rated using the Mars-G questionnaire. RESULTS Participants' mean ± standard deviation (SD) absolute error was 21 ± 21.5 g (71 ± 72.7%). Calorie Mama had a mean absolute error of 24 ± 36.5 g (81.2 ± 123.4%). With a mean absolute error of 13.1 ± 11.3 g (44.3 ± 38.2%), SNAQ outperformed the estimation accuracy of patients and Calorie Mama (both P > .05). Error consistency (quantified by the within-participant SD) did not significantly differ between the methods. CONCLUSIONS SNAQ may provide effective CHO estimation support for people with T1D, particularly those with large or inconsistent CHO estimation errors. Its impact on glucose control remains to be evaluated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect on glycemic control and acceptability of basic carbohydrate counting (BCC) in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). METHODS Ninety-two children and young adults (6-25 y of age) with T1DM were randomized to receive either routine nutrition education (RNE), which addressed food groups, glycemic index, and effects of food and exercise on glycemia, or learn BCC with personalized portion size education. A continuous glucose monitoring study and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were performed at baseline and after 12 wk. The primary outcome was a change in time-in-range from baseline through 12 wk. A questionnaire on the acceptability of BCC was administered. RESULTS At 12 wk, there was no significant difference in change in time-in-range between the two groups (BCC group: 1.2 ± 12.2; RNE group: 1.9 ± 12.3; P = 0.786). No significant changes were observed in the percentage of time that blood glucose was >180 or >250 mg/dL; <70 or <54 mg/dL; glycemic variability, percentage of nights with hypoglycemia and HbA1c. In subgroup analysis, there was a significant decrease in HbA1c in the BCC group among participants with higher maternal education (-0.5 versus 0.2, P = 0.042). The total score on the acceptability questionnaire was higher in the BCC group (P = 0.022). CONCLUSION Among children and young adults in our region with T1DM, BCC provided flexibility in food choices and perception of greater ease of insulin adjustment. Although BCC was equivalent to RNE in terms of glycemic control, larger studies may reveal benefit in outcomes in certain subgroups.

Abstract
Background The Carbohydrate Counting (CC) is directly associated with achieving glycemic control by people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). Therefore, this study aims to analyze characteristics of the CC practice associated with the adequacy of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in adults with T1DM in Brazil. Methods The study was cross-sectional, carried out using an online form with questions about knowledge of CC, clinical, anthropometric, sociodemographic data, follow-up with health professionals and understanding of the concepts of CC. Pearson's chi-square test and binomial logistic regression analysis (p<0.05) were applied. Results 173 adults participated, of which 57.2% had increased HbA1c (≥7%). Having the diabetes duration <10 years (p=0.006), performing the CC at lunch (p=0.040) and dinner (p=0.018), using specific applications to perform the CC (p=0.001), having learned to perform CC with a nutritionist (p=0.037) and knowing how to correctly define the concepts of food bolus (p=0.001), correction bolus (p<0.001) and insulin/carbohydrate ratio (p<0.001) was associated with having adequate HbA1c (<7%). Participants who were undergoing CC practice were 3.273 times more likely to have adequate HbA1c and participants with diabetes duration <10 years were 2.686 times more likely to have adequate HbA1c. Conclusion It was concluded that variables transversal to CC favor adequate HbA1c values in adults with T1DM and that practicing CC and having a diabetes duration of less than 10 years are predictive factors of having adequate HbA1c.

A Randomized Crossover Trial to Compare Automated Insulin Delivery (the Artificial Pancreas) With Carbohydrate Counting or Simplified Qualitative Meal-Size Estimation in Type 1 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2023; 46:1372-1378.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Qualitative meal-size estimation has been proposed instead of quantitative carbohydrate (CHO) counting with automated insulin delivery. We aimed to assess the noninferiority of qualitative meal-size estimation strategy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a two-center, randomized, crossover, noninferiority trial to compare 3 weeks of automated insulin delivery with 1) CHO counting and 2) qualitative meal-size estimation in adults with type 1 diabetes. Qualitative meal-size estimation categories were low, medium, high, or very high CHO and were defined as <30 g, 30-60 g, 60-90 g, and >90 g CHO, respectively. Prandial insulin boluses were calculated as the individualized insulin to CHO ratios multiplied by 15, 35, 65, and 95, respectively. Closed-loop algorithms were otherwise identical in the two arms. The primary outcome was time in range 3.9-10.0 mmol/L, with a predefined noninferiority margin of 4%. RESULTS A total of 30 participants completed the study (n = 20 women; age 44 (SD 17) years; A1C 7.4% [0.7%]). The mean time in the 3.9-10.0 mmol/L range was 74.1% (10.0%) with CHO counting and 70.5% (11.2%) with qualitative meal-size estimation; mean difference was -3.6% (8.3%; noninferiority P = 0.78). Frequencies of times at <3.9 mmol/L and <3.0 mmol/L were low (<1.6% and <0.2%) in both arms. Automated basal insulin delivery was higher in the qualitative meal-size estimation arm (34.6 vs. 32.6 units/day; P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Though the qualitative meal-size estimation method achieved a high time in range and low time in hypoglycemia, noninferiority was not confirmed.

Abstract
To control glycemic variability in people with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), it is essential to perform carbohydrate counting (CC), a strategy that ensures better quality of life for these patients. Thus, this study aims to analyze potential factors associated with adherence to CC in adults with T1DM during social distancing due to COVID-19 in Brazil. This was a single cross-sectional study carried out in July 2020. An online form was used to collect sociodemographic and economic data on the purchasing of supplies and food, as well as social distancing. The Chi-square test was performed with adjusted residuals analysis and a binomial logistic regression analysis (p < 0.05). Of 472 adults, 37.71% reported performing CC in the same frequency as before social distancing. There was an association between performance of CC and the type of city (p = 0.027), family income (p = 0.000), use of financial emergency aid (p = 0.045), type of insulin administration and glycemic monitoring (p < 0.000), and cooking more (p = 0.012). Participants who maintained or reduced consumption of ultra-processed foods were 0.62 times more likely to adhere to CC (OR 0.626, 95% IC: 0.419−0.935) and participants who cooked more were 1.67 times more likely to adhere to CC (OR 1.67, 95% CI: 1.146−2.447). There are still people with T1DM who did not know about and did not use CC method, which highlights the need for diabetes education.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Smartphone applications (apps) have been designed that help patients to accurately count their carbohydrate intake in order to optimize prandial insulin dose matching. Our aim was to evaluate the accuracy of two carbohydrate (carb) counting apps. METHODS Medical students, in the role of mock patients, evaluated meals using two smartphone apps: Foodvisor® (which uses automatic food photo recognition technology) and Glucicheck® (which requires the manual entry of carbohydrates with the help of a photo gallery). The macronutrient quantifications obtained with these two apps were compared to a reference quantification. RESULTS The carbohydrate content of the entire meal was underestimated with Foodvisor® (Foodvisor® quantification minus gold standard quantification = - 7.2 ± 17.3 g; p < 0.05) but reasonably accurately estimated with Glucicheck® (Glucicheck® quantification minus gold standard quantification = 1.4 ± 13.4 g; ns). The percentage of meals with an absolute error in carbohydrate quantification above 20 g was greater for Foodvisor® compared to Glucicheck® (30% vs 14%; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION The carb counting accuracy was slightly better when using Glucicheck® compared to Foodvisor®. However, both apps provided a lower mean absolute carb counting error than that usually made by T1D patients in everyday life, suggesting that such apps may be a useful adjunct for estimating carbohydrate content.

Abstract
Background In South Africa, 5% – 15% of diabetics have type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Dietitians are an important part of the diabetes management team; however, there is a lack of published data on the dietary management practices for T1DM by dietitians. Aim The aim of this study was to determine the dietary management practices for T1DM by dietitians in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). Setting This study was conducted in KZN. Methods A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted using a self-administered electronic questionnaire. Results Of the 69 dietitians who participated, 58% (n = 40) used the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines to manage T1DM; just under 35% (n = 24) spent over an hour with new cases; and 87% (n = 60) used face-to-face consultations for follow-up. Dietitians used the glycaemic index, portion control using the healthy eating plate, carbohydrate counting using nutritional labels and household measures and carbohydrate awareness to manage T1DM (p < 0.05). Dietitians also used the healthy eating plate (71%; n = 49) (p < 0.05) and household measures (73.9%; n = 51) (p < 0.05) to manage T1DM. Time constraints, the literacy level of the patient, available resources and language barriers all played a role in determining the dietary management practices used (p < 0.05). Conclusion Most dietitians in KZN used the ADA dietary guidelines to manage T1DM, which highlights the need for South African dietary guidelines for the management of T1DM. Dietitians used a variety of different dietary methods to manage T1DM in practice. This suggests that dietitians are flexible in how they manage T1DM with no one particular method being used. A variety of factors also influenced which dietary management practices were chosen.

Perceptions and expectations of adults with type 1 diabetes for the use of artificial pancreas systems with and without glucagon addition: Results of an online survey. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2021; 31:658-665. [PMID: 33358714 PMCID: PMC7886941 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2020.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2020] [Revised: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The first hybrid artificial pancreas (AP) systems with insulin only (mono-hormonal) have recently reached the market while next generations systems are under development including those with glucagon addition (bi-hormonal). Understanding the expectations and impressions of future potential users about AP systems is important for optimal use of this clinically effective emerging technology. METHODS AND RESULTS An online survey about AP systems which consisted of 50 questions was addressed to people with type 1 diabetes in the province of Quebec, Canada. Surveys were completed by 123 respondents with type 1 diabetes (54% women, mean (SD) age 40.2 (14.4) y.o., diabetes duration 23.7 (14.1) years, 58% insulin pump users and 43% glucose sensor users). Of the respondents, 91% understood how AP systems work, 79% trusted them with correct insulin dosing, 73% were willing to replace their current treatment with AP and 80% expected improvement in quality of life. Anxiety about letting an algorithm control their glucose levels was expressed by 18% while the option of ignoring or modifying AP instructions was favoured by 88%. As for bi-hormonal AP systems, 83% of respondents thought they would be useful to further reduce hypoglycemic risks. CONCLUSIONS Overall, respondents expressed positive views about AP systems use and high expectations for a better quality of life, glycemic control and hypoglycemia reduction. Data from this survey could be useful to health care professionals and developers of AP systems.

Abstract
AIM For middle-aged persons with type 1 diabetes, diabetes management is essential due to the natural effects of middle age. However, studies investigating how such individuals manage their diabetes are lacking. This study aimed to explore diabetes management experiences of middle-aged individuals with type 1 diabetes. METHODS Data were collected through in-depth interviews with six middle-aged persons with diabetes. An interpretative phenomenological analysis was used for the analysis of the data. RESULTS The following four themes emerged: "familiarity with but no control over type 1 diabetes", "embodiment of one's unique management of type 1 diabetes", "control of one's mindset regarding diabetes management despite a limited scope of activity", and "accepting ownership of self-management and continued management to the best of one's ability." A core theme was "living silently like robots dreaming of true freedom from type 1 diabetes." CONCLUSIONS The findings indicate that nurses should provide education, embracing the experience in diabetes management through trial and error among persons with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
The aim of this randomized four-way cross-over study was to examine the effect of added protein and/or fat in standard meals with a fixed carbohydrate content on postprandial glucose control with closed-loop insulin delivery in adults with type 1 diabetes. Participants (n = 15) consumed breakfast meals with a fixed carbohydrate content (75 ± 1 g) and added protein and/or fat (35 ± 2 g): (1) carbohydrate-only (standard), (2) high protein (HP), (3) high fat (HF) and (4) high fat + protein (HFHP). The closed-loop insulin delivery algorithm generated insulin bolus and infusion rates. The addition of fat, protein or both did not impact 5-hour post-meal sensor glucose area under the curve (AUC) (main outcome), mean sensor glucose or glycaemic peak as compared with a standard meal (P > 0.05). However, time to glycaemic peak was delayed by 40 minutes (P = 0.03) and 5-hour post-meal basal insulin requirements were 39% higher (P = 0.04) with an HFHP meal compared with a standard meal. In conclusion, in the context of closed-loop insulin delivery, protein and/or fat meal content affects the timing of postprandial glycaemic peak, insulin requirements and late glycaemic excursion, without impacting overall 5-hour AUC.

Abstract
AIMS To assess perceptions of patients using subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) about metabolic control, pump malfunctions, technical and insertion site adverse events (AEs) related to infusion sets/catheters as well as patients' practices. METHODS Online survey (from June 2016 to January 2017) using an actualized 39-item questionnaire directed to adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using CSII therapy and living in the province of Quebec, Canada. RESULTS Participants with T1D (n = 115, 72% females, 39.7 ± 14.0 years, diabetes duration: 20.9 ± 12.2 years, CSII use: 6.2 ± 4.1 years) adequately completed the survey. Infusion sets were changed every 3.3 ± 0.9 day. Improved glucose control and decreased number/severity of hypoglycemic episodes were reported by 80% and 68%/50% of subjects, respectively. Over the past year of CSII use, participants perceived no increase in anxiety/worry (84%), no negative impact on life (89%) or on time off from work/school (82%). Conversely, many experienced at least one clinical AEs at insertion site [pain (84%), adhesion (76%), irritation (69%), lipodystrophy (45%)] and technical issues [blockage (52%), cannula kinking (50%), pump stop (55%), air bubbles (46%)]. No significant association was observed between catheter wear-time and AEs. All participants had one or more problems related to CSII use, although only 37% reported addressing these issues with health professionals. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that patients positively perceived CSII use although they experienced a high frequency of clinical and technical AEs. This warrants further attention by health professionals, investigators and manufacturers to optimize CSII therapy.

Impact of erroneous meal insulin bolus with dual-hormone artificial pancreas using a simplified bolus strategy - A randomized controlled trial. Sci Rep 2018; 8:2621. [PMID: 29422651 PMCID: PMC5805693 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-20785-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2017] [Accepted: 01/22/2018] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Postprandial glucose control remains challenging for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). A simplified meal bolus approach with a dual-hormone (insulin and glucagon) closed-loop system (DH-CLS) has been tested; yet, the impact of categorization errors with this strategy is unknown. The objective was to compare, in a randomized controlled inpatient trial, DH-CLS with the simplified meal bolus approach for two different meals properly categorized or overestimated. We tested, in patients with T1D, the simplified strategy with two standardized breakfasts (n = 10 per meal) adequately categorized or overestimated: (1) 75 g and (2) 45 g of carbohydrate. No difference was observed for percentage of time <4.0 mmol/L over a 4-hour post-meal period (primary outcome; median [IQR]: 0[0-0] vs. 0[0-0] for both comparisons, p = 0.47 and 0.31 for the 75 g and 45 g meals, respectively). Despite higher meal insulin boluses with overestimation for both meals (9.2 [8.2-9.6] vs. 8.1 [7.3-9.1] U and 8.4 [7.2-10.4] vs. 4.8 [3.7-5.6] U; p < 0.05), mean glycemia, percentage of time in target range and glucagon infusion did not differ. Additional scenarios were tested in silico with comparable results. These results suggest that the DH-CLS with a simplified meal bolus calculation is probably able to avoid hypoglycemia in the event of meal size misclassification.

Diabetes Obes Metab 2018; 20:245-256. [PMID: 28675686 PMCID: PMC5810921 DOI: 10.1111/dom.13052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 68] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2017] [Revised: 06/27/2017] [Accepted: 06/29/2017] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
For patients with type 1 diabetes, closed-loop delivery systems (CLS) combining an insulin pump, a glucose sensor and a dosing algorithm allowing a dynamic hormonal infusion have been shown to improve glucose control when compared with conventional therapy. Yet, reducing glucose excursion and simplification of prandial insulin doses remain a challenge. The objective of this literature review is to examine current meal-time strategies in the context of automated delivery systems in adults and children with type 1 diabetes. Current challenges and considerations for post-meal glucose control will also be discussed. Despite promising results with meal detection, the fully automated CLS has yet failed to provide comparable glucose control to CLS with carbohydrate-matched bolus in the post-meal period. The latter strategy has been efficient in controlling post-meal glucose using different algorithms and in various settings, but at the cost of a meal carbohydrate counting burden for patients. Further improvements in meal detection algorithms or simplified meal-priming boluses may represent interesting avenues. The greatest challenges remain in regards to the pharmacokinetic and dynamic profiles of available rapid insulins as well as sensor accuracy and lag-time. New and upcoming faster acting insulins could provide important benefits. Multi-hormone CLS (eg, dual-hormone combining insulin with glucagon or pramlintide) and adjunctive therapy (eg, GLP-1 and SGLT2 inhibitors) also represent promising options. Meal glucose control with the artificial pancreas remains an important challenge for which the optimal strategy is still to be determined.
