Summary

Carbohydrates are the main determinant of post-meal glucose excursion. However, fat and protein have been shown to also impact the postprandial glucose control, adding to the complexity of meal insulin calculation. Few studies have looked at the effect of macronutrients other than carbohydrates on postprandial glucose excursions with the closed-loop strategy. The objective of this study is to test whether the single-hormone closed-loop strategy can achieve similar post-meal glucose control with meals with a fixed carbohydrate content, but high in protein and/or fat when compared to a meal with a fixed carbohydrate content only.
