Summary
This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel advanced bolus calculator in
subjects with Type 1 diabetes. Insulin bolus calculators have been developed to aid insulin
dose adjustment and existing standard insulin bolus calculator consist of a simple algorithm
that requires five subject-specific parameters as input to generate a recommended bolus
insulin dose:
- current blood glucose (mmol/L)
- target blood glucose (mmol/L)
- insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio (grams of carbohydrate per 1 unit of insulin)
- total grams of carbohydrate in meals
- insulin sensitivity factor (reduction in glucose per 1 unit of insulin)
