Accuracy of Carbohydrate Counting in Adults
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Brief This study investigates carbohydrate counting accuracy in patients using insulin through a multiple daily injection regimen or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. The average accuracy test score for all patients was 59%. The carbohydrate test in this study can be used to emphasize the importance of carbohydrate counting to patients and to provide ongoing education.

متن کاملDeath to Carbohydrate Counting?
I nsulin therapy is an effective strategy for achieving glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Although often neglected, it is important to use an appropriate diet strategy to complement the insulin. Furthermore, a basic tenet of such therapy is that insulin dosage and administration should be appropriate to balance diet and physical activity in order to maintain normoglycemia. In t...
متن کاملImproving the Estimation of Mealtime Insulin Dose in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE Although carbohydrate counting is routine practice in type 1 diabetes, hyperglycemic episodes are common. A food insulin index (FII) has been developed and validated for predicting the normal insulin demand generated by mixed meals in healthy adults. We sought to compare a novel algorithm on the basis of the FII for estimating mealtime insulin dose with carbohydrate counting in adults...
