About this trial

The blood glucose fluctuates greatly in T1DM patients, especially in the middle and late stages of the disease, and carbohydrate (CHO) is the main determinant of postprandial glucose response (PGR). Based on the previous investigation to understand how nutritional habits affect blood glucose control, we will conduct dietary intervention studies in T1DM patients to explore whether the adjustment of dietary pattern is beneficial to blood glucose control, and further explore the relevant mechanism through the detection of related metabolic indicators.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Those who agree to participate in the study and sign informed consent;

Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (ADA2024);

Age of 18~70 years;

Dependent on exogenous insulin therapy, the treatment plan remains unchanged within 2 months (the type of insulin cannot be changed, and the dose can be adjusted according to plasma glucose);

Disqualifiers

Honeymooners with type 1 diabetes mellitus;

Women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant;

Patients who are vegetarians or are undergoing weight loss;

Patients who are users of oral hypoglycemic drugs (alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, DPP-IV inhibitors, etc.);

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • diverse carbohydrate diet

    Other intervention

    Carbohydrate provides 45\~55% of total dietary energy, protein 15\~20%, and fat 25 \~35%. Among them, 45\~50% of carbohydrate supply sources are refined grains, 45\~50% of carbohydrate supply sources are whole grains or beans. The total energy is divided into 3 meals per day. The breakfast provides 25\~30% of total energy, lunch 30\~40%,and dinner 30\~35%.

  • moderate carbohydrate diet

    Other intervention

    Carbohydrate provides 45\~55% of total dietary energy, protein 15\~20%, and fat 25 \~35%. Among them, 90\~95% of carbohydrate supply sources are refined grains. The total energy is divided into 3 meals per day. The breakfast provides 25\~30% of total energy, lunch 30\~40%,and dinner 30\~35%.
