The influence of food order on postprandial glucose levels in children with type 1 diabetes.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of the order of intake of carbohydrates, protein, and fat on postprandial glucose levels in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our hypothesis was that postprandial glucose levels would be lower when fat and protein are consumed prior to carbohydrates, compared to a meal where all macronutrients are combined.

Methods: A randomized, open-label, within-subject crossover study was conducted.
