Study to reveal how fat and periods impact blood sugar in type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT07278063
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the amount of fat in a meal and a woman's menstrual cycle affect blood sugar after eating in people with type 1 diabetes. Fifty adults (25 women, 25 men) will eat standardized low-fat and high-fat meals while wearing continuous glucose monitors. The goal is to gather data that could lead to more personalized insulin dosing, especially for women.
