Read our Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a simplified way of telling your insulin pump about meals—just saying if a meal is small, medium, or large—works as well as carefully counting every gram of carbohydrates. The study will follow 120 children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes for 6 months to see which method helps keep blood sugar better controlled and feels easier to manage.
Counting carbohydrates precisely can be stressful and time-consuming for young people managing type 1 diabetes every day. This trial is trying to find out if a simpler approach using preset meal sizes can give them good blood sugar control with less burden and worry.

You'll be randomly assigned to either the simplified meal-size group or the precise carb-counting group and will meet with a dietitian for personalized guidance. Over 6 months, you'll have follow-up visits at 4–6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months, where you'll upload data from your insulin pump and answer questionnaires about stress, eating habits, and how you're managing. You may also be invited to continue for optional follow-ups at 12 and 24 months.
