Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 focused on measuring super bolus, diabetes type 1, insulin bolus, high glycemic index meal, prandial insulin requirement, postprandial glycemia, insulin pump therapy
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- duration of type 1 diabetes longer than 12months,
- insulin pump therapy longer than 3 months,
- written informed consent to participate in the study signed by parents (and patient older than 16 years).
Exclusion Criteria:
- celiac disease,
- diabetes related complications (e.g. nephropathy),
- BMI at or above the 95th percentile and at or below 3rd percentiles for children and teenagers of the same age and sex,

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Active Comparator
Experimental
Normal Bolus
Super Bolus
Pre-breakfast insulin will be given as a Normal Bolus 15 minutes before the high-glycemic index meal (cornflakes and milk). The Normal Bolus will be calculated based on individual insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio (ICR).
Pre-breakfast insulin will be given as a Super Bolus 15 minutes before the high-glycemic index meal (cornflakes and milk). The Super Bolus will be calculated based on individual ICR increased to 150% and basal insulin will be suspended for 2 hours at the same time.
