Read our Type 1 Diabetes research guide →Researchers want to understand why the same meal causes different blood sugar responses in different people with type 1 diabetes — even when they're using the same insulin pumps or continuous glucose monitors. This study will look at how your diet, the bacteria in your gut, sleep patterns, and your genes all work together to influence how your body handles blood sugar after meals.
Right now, managing blood sugar after eating is one of the hardest parts of living with type 1 diabetes, and it can be unpredictable even with modern technology. Scientists believe that your individual gut bacteria and other personal factors might explain why the same food affects different people differently — and understanding this could lead to more personalized, effective ways to help you manage your diabetes.

You would record what you eat for 7 days, answer questions about your sleep and eating habits, and provide a fasting blood sample and a stool sample at home. The researchers will use your continuous glucose monitor data (which you're already using for your diabetes care) to track your blood sugar responses. The study uses information you're already collecting — no new medications or treatments to take.
