Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study involves the provision of the same high fat, high protein (40g fat, 50g protein) breakfast meal with insulin for 4 days (consecutive). The total amount of insulin administered on each of the 4 days will vary. Meal insulin will be calculated using the participant’s usual insulin to carbohydrate ratio (ICR), 100% (control), 120%, 140%, 160% ICR and given as a combination bolus split in a 60:40 ratio over 3 hours. Postprandial glucose will be measured using continuous glucose monitoring. Participants will consume the meal in the home setting and will be required to fast and avoid exercise for 6 h post meal.

Summary
Brief summary
Research has shown that in addition to carbohydrate, fat and protein in foods cause a delayed rise in blood glucose. In some people with type 1 diabetes meals higher in fat and protein require extra insulin. This is a 4 day, home- based study looking at how much extra insulin to give for meals higher in fat and protein. We hypothesise that administration of an additional 60% of the meal insulin dose will reduce mean glucose excursions at 180 mins post- meal without an increase in hypoglycaemia.
