Effect of Dual-wave Insulin Bolus on Postprandial Glycaemia

Summary

A study was conducted in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) examining the effect of different bolus types on 6-h postprandial glucose levels after the consumption of 3 standard meals with varying composition. Participants were asked to consume 10 different combinations of meal and bolus type.
