Dietary Fat Acutely Increases Glucose Concentrations and Insulin Requirements in T1

[Northerner]

OBJECTIVE Current guidelines for intensive treatment of type 1diabetes base the mealtime insulin bolus calculation exclusively on carbohydrate counting. There is strong evidence that free fatty acids impair insulin sensitivity. We hypothesized that patients with type 1 diabetes would require more insulin coverage for higher-fat meals than lower-fat meals with identical carbohydrate content.

Again I have to wonder how much that study cost🙄 Many but not all diabetics could have told them that for nothing, Esp the pumpers
