Closed-loop systems combining an insulin pump, a glucose sensor and a dosing algorithm that adjusts insulin delivery in a glucose-responsive manner achieve significantly better glucose control than conventional therapy in type 1 diabetes. Achieving satisfactory postprandial glucose control, however, continues to be challenging. The main limitation is the delayed pharmacokinetics and -dynamics of subcutaneously administered insulin with peak actions between 1 and 2 hours. Conversely, glucose levels typically rise within 10minutes following carbohydrate intake. This mismatch largely explains the inability of current closed-loop systems to control postprandial glucose excursions and the increased risk of late postprandial hypoglycaemia in response to both user-derived meal bolus administration and reactive algorithm-driven insulin infusion.
Restricting carbohydrate may therefore significantly improve post-prandial glucose control whilst reducing hypoglycaemia. The efficacy of hybrid closed-loop operation in individuals with type 1 diabetes adhering to a low carbohydrate compared to a iso-caloric balanced diet has not been investigated to date.
