A new proposal for a second insulin bolus to optimize postprandial glucose profile in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Article in Acta diabetologica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsTo evaluate whether a second insulin bolus, calculated with a new approach, could improve postprandial glucose (PPG) after the intake of real-life high-fat (HF) and high-protein (HP) mixed meals.
methodsFifteen adolescents with T1D treated with non-automated insulin pumps and CGM were enrolled. Patients received standard, HF and HP mixed meals treated with one pre-meal insulin bolus; based on differences in PPG between standard, HF and HP meals, correction boluses were calculated (30% and 60% of pre-meal bolus for HF and HP meals, respectively). Then patients received the same HF or HP meal treated with pre-meal bolus plus second insulin bolus after 3 h. Differences between postprandial variables after HF and HP meals treated with one or two insulin boluses were assessed by paired Student's t-test.
resultsTreating HF and HP meals with two insulin boluses significantly reduced the postprandial BG-AUC (21% and 26% respectively, p < 0.05), increased %TIR (from 52.5 to 78.3% for HF meal; from 32.7 to 57.1% for HP meal; p < 0.01), and reduced mean BG and %TAR (p < 0.01), with no differences in %TBR.
conclusionsThe new way to calculate and administer correction boluses 3 h after HF and HP meals is effective and safe in reducing PPG and the hypoglycemia risk.
