Many patients with Type 1 diabetes estimate their prandial insulin need inappropriately

Background:  Many factors contribute to the need for prandial insulin in Type 1 diabetes. However, patients’ success in achieving normal postprandial glucose concentration is understudied. The aim of the present study was to determine how often patients with Type 1 diabetes achieve normal postprandial glucose concentrations and to evaluate factors associated with postprandial hypo‐ and hyperglycemia.
