Could changing carbs and adding fiber improve blood sugar in type 1 diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07673523
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores how different amounts of carbohydrates and a fiber supplement called inulin-FOS affect blood sugar control in adults with type 1 diabetes. Participants will try three two-week diets: one with 30% carbs, one with 50-55% carbs, and one with 50-55% carbs plus inulin-FOS. Blood sugar is tracked continuously, and the goal is to find which approach works best for managing glucose levels.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- inulin and fructooligosaccharide (FOS) dietary supplement
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help identify an optimal diet plan for better blood sugar management in type 1 diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, short-term study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Dietary changes can be hard to maintain long-term.
