In patients with type 1 diabetes, glucose improvement during the period after breakfast appears to be influential in reducing HbA1c levels, according to recent study findings. Additionally, the study researchers found that improvements in overnight glucose control yielded improvements in ensuing breakfast-time glucose.
?Improving breakfast meal period glucose levels had the greatest independent effect on lowering HbA1c levels in patients with type 1 diabetes, and improved overnight control had a sustained effect associated with lower [continuous glucose monitoring]-glucose levels during the morning,? David M. Maahs, MD, PhD, of the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes in Aurora, Colo., and colleagues wrote. ?Although glucose control should be improved at all times, methods to improve overnight and post-breakfast glucose levels may be of primary importance in improving glucose control in patients with type 1 diabetes.?
