330-OR: A 30% Increased Insulin Dose Is Necessary to Control Postprandial Hyperglycemia for High Protein Meals in Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes Using Insulin Pump Therapy

Dietary protein increases the postprandial glycemic response and insulin requirements in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The aim of this study was to determine the appropriate amount of additional insulin required for the protein content of a meal to prevent postprandial hyperglycemia. Twenty-nine subjects (12 male) with T1D using CSII (HbA1c Disclosure M.A. Paterson: None. C.E. Smart: None. J. Rafferty: None. B. Fenton: None. D. Price: None. D.C. Foskett: None. A. Maher: None. P.
