Assessment of optimal insulin administration timing for standard carbohydrates ‐rich meals using continuous glucose monitoring in children with type 1 diabetes: A cross‐over randomized study

ConclusionsFor carbohydrates ‐rich meals, administration of a proper dose of a rapid‐acting insulin analog is crucial. The influence of rapid‐acting insulin analog administration timing seems to be of minor importance in comparison with correct insulin dose adjustment; however, a tendency to achieve more balanced glucose profiles was found in a group who administered insulin 20 min before a meal.
