Does dietary fat cause a dose dependent glycemic response in youth with type 1 diabetes?

Objective: To determine the glycemic impact of dietary fat alone consumed without prandial insulin in individuals with T1D.

Research Design And Methods: Thirty participants with T1D (aged 8-18 years) consumed a test drink with either 20 g glucose or 1, 13, 26, 39, 51 g of fat with negligible carbohydrate/protein on 6 consecutive evenings, in a randomized order without insulin. Continuous glucose monitoring was used to measure glucose levels for 8 h postprandially.
