Researchers want to understand whether sucralose (an artificial sweetener) changes how your insulin pump needs to work when you eat carbohydrates. You'll drink specially prepared beverages—some with sweetener and some without, and some with a natural substance that blocks the sweet taste on your tongue—while your insulin pump monitors your blood sugar and insulin levels. This could help doctors understand whether artificial sweeteners affect diabetes management.
Many people with type 1 diabetes use artificial sweeteners to reduce sugar intake, but doctors don't yet know if these sweeteners affect how the body processes carbohydrates or responds to insulin. This study aims to fill that gap by testing whether the medication works differently depending on whether artificial sweeteners are present.

You'll visit the research center and drink four different flavored beverages on the same day, each prepared differently—some with artificial sweetener, some without, and some with a taste-blocking substance. Before each drink, you'll rate how sweet it tastes. During and after drinking, your insulin pump will continuously monitor your blood sugar and insulin levels. The whole study involves one visit, though researchers may ask you to complete an initial screening session first.
