Faster insulin in pumps may improve after-meal blood sugar in kids with diabetes

NCT ID NCT04149262

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a faster-acting insulin (Fiasp) works better than standard rapid insulin (NovoRapid) in insulin pumps for children and teens with type 1 diabetes. Researchers looked at blood sugar levels 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours after meals using real-world data from 44 participants. The goal was to see if the faster insulin leads to better post-meal glucose control.

Active substance

fast-acting insulin aspart (Fiasp)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could show that faster-acting insulin helps control blood sugar better after meals in children with type 1 diabetes using insulin pumps.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed study with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to all children. It also looks at short-term glucose levels, not long-term outcomes.
