THE EFFECT OF FAT-PROTEIN COUNTING ON GLYSEMIC VARIABILITY IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS
Project no. 153 · Status: Kapanmış · 2018
Summary
Primary goal of diabetes management is to achieve normal or near-normal blood glucose levels. Food and nutrition interventions that reduce postprandial blood glucose excursions are important in this regard, since dietary carbohydrate is the major determinant of postprandial glucose levels. Because of the fact that carbohydrate as the primary nutrient affecting postprandial glycemic response. carbohydrate quantification is conventionally recommended for preprandial insulin dose calculation for individuals with Type 1 diabetes on intensive insulin therapy and on insulin infusion pump therapy. Although carbohydrate is the predominant macronutrient affecting postprandial blood glucose excursions, recent researches have shown that dietary fat and protein can also significantly impact the postprandial glycaemic profile.
