Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate glycemic control during a low carbohydrate diet compared with during a high carbohydrate diet in adults with insulin pump treated type 1 diabetes.

  • Willingness to use continuous glucose monitoring consistently during the intervention periods

Exclusion Criteria

  • Females of childbearing potential who are pregnant, breast-feeding or intend to become pregnant or are not using adequate contraceptive methods
  • Use of SGLT-2-inhibitors
  • Use of corticosteroids during or within 30 days prior to the intervention periods
