Timing of Meal Insulin Boluses for Optimal Postprandial Glycemic Control in Type 1 Diabetes

Blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes tend to peak after eating a meal due to the delayed action of insulin when compared to carbohydrate absorption from food. It is the hypothesis of the investigator that administering the insulin for a meal 20 minutes before the meal will result in lower blood glucose peaks compared to administration of insulin immediately before or 20 minutes after starting to eat. All subjects will eat the same meal on three different occasions. Insulin will be administered at one of the three times at each visit.
