“…Siavash et al reported that a mobile phone‐based bolus advisor significantly decreased BGC by 38 mg/dL compared with the control group, in which the reduction was 16 mg/dL, but changes in HbA1c and number of hypoglycemic episodes did not different between the two groups. In another trial, Blazik and Pankowska showed in a 3‐month randomized trial that patients using a software bolus calculator had better results in terms of 2‐h postprandial BGCs, smaller mean BGC, smaller variations in BGC, and a higher percentage of BGC in the target range 70–180 mg/dL. Simultaneously, there were no differences in the number of hypoglycemic events or HbA1c concentration or insulin requirements.…”

“…Carbohydrate quantification is traditionally recommended for prandial insulin dose estimation. However, there is growing evidence that other macronutrients should also be taken into account when determining the prandial insulin dose (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). In particular, high fat and high protein meals have been shown to increase postprandial glycaemia for at least 5 h (2,6,8).…”

Background: Although the insulin bolus calculator is increasingly being used by people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy, few studies have investigated its effects on glycemic control. The aim of this study was to determine whether adding this device to therapeutic intensification could further improve metabolic control. Methods: A 4-month randomized controlled clinical trial was performed comparing subjects undergoing therapeutic intensification and either using the bolus calculator (Cb group) or not (active control [Co] group). Metabolic control, fear of hypoglycemia, and treatment acceptance were evaluated. Results: In all, 70 people completed the study (42 in the Cb group, 28 in the Co group). There was a significant decrease in HbA1c in both the Cb and Co groups (À7 mmol/mol [À0.7 %] vs À4 mmol/mol [À0.4 %], respectively). There were no significant differences in HbA1c at baseline or the end of the study, or in the decrease in HbA1c, glycemia, or changes in blood glucose levels at the end of the study between the two groups. There was a significant increase in the number of participants with good metabolic control (HbA1c <58 mmol/mol [7.5 %]) in the Cb group (from 16.7 % to 40.5 %), but not in the Co group. The incidence of hypoglycemic events was reduced slightly but significantly only in the Cb group. There was no change in the fear of hypoglycemia at the end of the study. The bolus calculator was well accepted. Conclusions: In T1D, adding a bolus calculator to intensive MDI resulted in a significant improvement in metabolic control and slightly decreased the number of hypoglycemic episodes. Metabolic control also improved in the Co group.
