Effectiveness of Nutrition Education in Carbohydrate Counting in People With Type 1 Diabetic

Stopped: Recruitment difficulties

Portugal0Started 2021-05-10

Plain-language summary

Carbohydrates are the nutrient in the diet with the greatest impact on blood glucose. Inadequate carbohydrate counts are associated with higher A1c and greater variations in postprandial blood glucose. Clinical guidelines for the nutritional treatment of diabetes recommend that patients with DM1 learn carbohydrate counting or some similar systematic strategy that allows for better metabolic control. However, despite the recommendations, this is still not a reality for most healthcare services treating individuals diagnosed with DM1.
