Elbarbary NS, Ismail EAR. Mitigating iftar-related glycemic excursions in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes on MiniMed™ 780G advanced hybrid closed loop system: a randomized clinical trial for adjunctive oral vildagliptin therapy during Ramadan fasting. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:257. [PMID: 38057844 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01232-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ramadan Iftar meal typically causes glucose excursions. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors increase glucagon-like peptide-1 and thus, decrease blood glucose levels with low risk of hypoglycemia. AIM To investigate the efficacy and safety of vildagliptin as an add-on therapy on glucose excursions of Iftar Ramadan meals among adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) using advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) treatment. METHODS Fifty T1DM patients on MiniMed™ 780G AHCL were randomly assigned either to receive vildagliptin (50 mg tablet) with iftar meal during Ramadan month or not. All participants received pre-meal insulin bolus based on insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio (ICR) for each meal constitution. RESULTS Vildagliptin offered blunting of post-meal glucose surges (mean difference - 30.3 mg/dL [- 1.7 mmol/L] versus - 2.9 mg/dL [- 0.2 mmol/L] in control group; p < 0.001) together with concomitant exceptional euglycemia with time in range (TIR) significantly increased at end of Ramadan in intervention group from 77.8 ± 9.6% to 84.7 ± 8.3% (p = 0.016) and time above range (180-250 mg/dL) decreased from 13.6 ± 5.1% to 9.7 ± 3.6% (p = 0.003) without increasing hypoglycemia. A significant reduction was observed in automated daily correction boluses and total bolus dose by 23.9% and 16.3% (p = 0.015 and p < 0.023, respectively) with less aggressive ICR settings within intervention group at end of Ramadan. Coefficient of variation was improved from 37.0 ± 9.4% to 31.8 ± 7.1%; p = 0.035). No severe hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis were reported. CONCLUSION Adjunctive vildagliptin treatment mitigated postprandial hyperglycemia compared with pre-meal bolus alone. Vildagliptin significantly increased TIR while reducing glycemic variability without compromising safety. Trial registration This trial was registered under ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier no. NCT06021119.

The relationship between meal carbohydrate quantity and the insulin to carbohydrate ratio required to maintain glycaemia is non-linear in young people with type 1 diabetes: A randomized crossover trial. Diabet Med 2022; 39:e14675. [PMID: 34415640 DOI: 10.1111/dme.14675] [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: 05/12/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if the relationship between meal carbohydrate quantity and the insulin to carbohydrate ratio (ICR) required to maintain glycaemia is linear in people with type 1 diabetes. METHODS We used an open labelled randomized four-arm cross-over study design. Participants (N = 31) aged 12-27 years, HbA1c ≤ 64 mmol/mol (8.0%) received insulin doses based on the individual's ICR and the study breakfast carbohydrate quantity and then consumed four breakfasts containing 20, 50, 100 and 150 g of carbohydrate over four consecutive days in randomized order. The breakfast fat and protein percentages were standardized. Postprandial glycaemia was assessed by 5 h continuous glucose monitoring. The primary outcome was percent time in range (TIR) and secondary outcomes included hypoglycaemia, glucose excursion and incremental area under the curve. Statistical analysis included linear mixed modelling and Wilcoxon signed rank tests. RESULTS The 20 g carbohydrate breakfast had the largest proportion of TIR (0.74 ± 0.29 p < 0.04). Hypoglycaemia was more frequent in the 50 g (n = 13, 42%) and 100 g (n = 15, 50%) breakfasts compared to the 20 g (n = 6, 20%) and 150 g (n = 7, 26%) breakfasts (p < 0.029). The 150 g breakfast glucose excursion pattern was different from the smaller breakfasts with the lowest glucose excursion 0-2 h and the highest excursion from 3.5 to 5 h. CONCLUSIONS A non-linear relationship between insulin requirement and breakfast carbohydrate content was observed, suggesting that strengthened ICRs are needed for meals with ≤20 and ≥150 g of carbohydrate. Meals with ≥150 g of carbohydrate may benefit from dual wave bolusing.

Substantial Intra-Individual Variability in Post-Prandial Time to Peak in Controlled and Free-Living Conditions in Children with Type 1 Diabetes. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13114154. [PMID: 34836409 PMCID: PMC8620341 DOI: 10.3390/nu13114154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
The optimal time to bolus insulin for meals is challenging for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Current guidelines to control glucose excursions do not account for individual differences in glycaemic responses to meals. This study aimed to examine the within- and between-person variability in time to peak (TTP) glycaemic responses after consuming meals under controlled and free-living conditions. Participants aged 8–15 years with T1D ≥ 1 year and using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) were recruited. Participants consumed a standardised breakfast for six controlled days and maintained their usual daily routine for 14 free-living days. CGM traces were collected after eating. Linear mixed models were used to identify within- and between-person variability in the TTP after each of the controlled breakfasts, free-living breakfasts (FLB), and free-living dinners (FLD) conditions. Thirty participants completed the study (16 females; mean age and standard deviation (SD) 10.5 (1.9)). The TTP variability was greater within a person than the variability between people for all three meal types (between-person vs. within-person SD; controlled breakfast 18.5 vs. 38.9 min; FLB 14.1 vs. 49.6 min; FLD 5.7 vs. 64.5 min). For the first time, the study showed that within-person variability in TTP glycaemic responses is even greater than between-person variability.

Open Access Maced J Med Sci 2018; 6:1431-1434. [PMID: 30159070 PMCID: PMC6108809 DOI: 10.3889/oamjms.2018.256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2018] [Revised: 07/31/2018] [Accepted: 08/05/2018] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of providing and maintaining a proper metabolic control is to prevent the development of chronic complications. In this study, we aimed to determine the influence of flexible insulin dosing with carbohydrate counting method on metabolic and clinical parameters in type 1 diabetes patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was conducted with patients following up at the Endocrinology Clinic with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus between 2012 and 2015. Metabolic and clinical parameters before and after carbohydrate counting were compared. RESULTS: Forty patients were included in the study. Of the patients, 40% (n = 16) were female, and 60% (n = 24) were male, and mean age was 21.5 ± 7 year at the time of diagnosis. Statistically significant differences were not detected when haemoglobin A1c, fasting plasma glucose, post-prandial glucose, LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol levels were compared at standard dose insulin use and after carbohydrate counting (P < 0.005). Among the parameters measured when the patients received standard dose of insulin without counting carbohydrate and flexible insulin dosing by counting carbohydrate, statistically, significant differences were not detected for baseline insulin dose, bolus insulin dose, triglyceride level, body mass index, or monthly hypoglycemia episodes (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Flexible insulin dosing with carbohydrate counting provides significant improvements in clinical and metabolic control. We detected improvements in lipid profiles and glycemic control. Additionally, patients generally did not gain weight despite flexible nutrition, and frequency of hypoglycemia remained unchanged despite strict glycemic control.

Abstract
A primary focus of the nutritional management of type 1 diabetes has been on matching prandial insulin therapy with carbohydrate amount consumed. Different methods exist to quantify carbohydrate including counting in one gram increments, 10g portions or 15g exchanges. Clinicians have assumed that counting in one gram increments is necessary to precisely dose insulin and optimize postprandial control. Carbohydrate estimations in portions or exchanges have been thought of as inadequate because they may result in less precise matching of insulin dose to carbohydrate amount. However, studies examining the impact of errors in carbohydrate quantification on postprandial glycemia challenge this commonly held view. In addition it has been found that a single mealtime bolus of insulin can cover a range of carbohydrate intake without deterioration in postprandial control. Furthermore, limitations exist in the accuracy of the nutrition information panel on a food label. This article reviews the relationship between carbohydrate quantity and insulin dose, highlighting limitations in the evidence for a linear association. These insights have significant implications for patient education and mealtime insulin dose calculations.
