“It’s not just about the carbs”
![Page 8: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Carbohydrate
Greatest glycemic impact (time and magnitude) Carbohydrates don’t affect blood glucose equally Some of the potential variables effecting glycemic impact:
Type and amount of CHO (starch, i.e. Basmati rice vs. short grain) Fiber (soluble vs. insoluble) Sugar alcohols Physical form of the food Acidity Temperature Processing Cooking method – degree of gelatinization i.e. al dente pasta

Carbohydrate Counting
Beyond the Basics - 15g carbohydrate exchanges

How accurate are we?
Smart CE et al. 102 children, 8-18 years and 110 caregivers estimated CHO content of 17 standardized meals (8-90g)
Most of the time (73%), we estimate to within 10-15 g. The larger the carb content of the meal, the greater the
inaccuracy in carb counting. Large meals are commonly underestimated whereas snacks
are commonly overestimated. Foods in non-standard servings sizes such as rice, pasta, cereal
and fruit most often inaccurately estimated. The longer the children had been carb counting, the greater
the percentage error – need ONGOING education.
Smart, CE et al. Diabet. Med 2009; 26: 279-285.

Carbohydrate Counting
Two “inputs” when determining meal insulin dose, both have risk of error Carb counting Meter accuracy
And don’t forget adjustment for activity (↑↓), alcohol, stress, high fat, high protein meals…
Smart, CE et al. Diabet. Med 2009; 26: 279-285.
![Page 13: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Carbohydrate Counting
Inaccurate carbohydrate counting is associated with higher daily blood glucose variability. Though accuracy within 10-20g is NOT correlated
to higher A1C or significant postprandial glucose excursion.
Of all the “inputs” when determining meal insulin dose, which has the greatest risk of error?
Smart, CE et al. Diabet. Med 2009; 26: 279-285.
![Page 14: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Checking the I:C Ratio
Fix the basal first
Test the ratio when the pre-meal blood glucose is in target
Try to do this when it has been at least 4 hours since the last bolus
No recent lows or exercise
Eat a low-fat meal when you know the exact carb count(i.e. Lean Cuisine, or use Salter scale)
Test with ~ 1 g carbohydrate/kg body weight
Test pre-meal, at 2 hr and 4 hr after meals
![Page 15: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Checking Insulin:Carb Ratios
What is an acceptable increase in BG at 2 hrs?
![Page 16: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Insulin:Carbohydrate Ratio
If set right, the I:C ratio should keep the BG rise between 2.2 and 4.4 mmol/L, 2 hours later
Should bring the BG back close to target at 4-5 hrs.
If adjusting, do so by 1 or 2 g at a time

Checking the Insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF)
When a correction bolus is injected/programmed, how quickly should the BG return to target?
![Page 19: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Checking the Insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF)
BG should return to target 4-5 hours LATER
Should not cause hypoglycemia afterwards

Matching Insulin to Food
The carbohydrate quantity causes the rise in blood glucose after a meal and determines the bolus size.
The carbohydrate quality affects the rate at which blood glucose rises and determines the type of bolus to be used.

Types of Boluses
![Page 22: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Advanced Bolus Features
Normal bolus Entire bolus delivered immediately
Extended bolus Bolus delivered over an extended period of time
Combination bolus Portion of bolus is delivered immediately and portion is
extended over time Bolus mimics physiological insulin delivery – “first phase
and second phase delivery”
![Page 23: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why Use a Combination Bolus?
Prevents early post meal hypoglycemia (from insulin peaking before blood glucose rises)
Prevents late post-meal high blood sugars (from not having insulin to “cover” the late rise in glucose from carbohydrate)
The more rapidly-absorbed carbohydrate is “covered” now, and the more slowly absorbed carbohydrates are “covered” later
![Page 24: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Why Combo Bolus?
Unpredictable eaters, such as young children
Gastroparesis (also pre-meal hyperglycemia slows gastric emptying)

How to Determine a Combination Bolus
Starting point:
Split the bolus: 50% now, 50% over 3-5 hours (maybe longer?)
Check blood glucose at 2, 4, and 6 hours after eating
If “on the low side” at 2 hours, but “on the high side” 4-6 hours later, take less of the bolus up front, and spread more of the bolus over time
Adjust based on individual response
What about injectors?

Challenge your knowledge – Missed Boluses
Question 1: True or False
Missing the occasional meal bolus does not impact A1C.
![Page 28: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Missed meal boluses
TAKING the bolus is important!!!
“Forgetting” is very common – average of 2 missed meal boluses per week among 7-20 year olds

Forgot to Bolus?
2 missed boluses per week A1C increased 0.5% 4 missed boluses per week A1C increased 1.0% Most common reason: “forgetting”

Missed meal boluses
TAKING the bolus is important!!!
“Forgetting” is very common – average of 2 missed meal boluses per week among 7-20 year olds
Reasons? Privacy/discretion Low pre-meal, decided to wait to bolus “Just forgot”

Bottom Line
MISSED MEAL DOSES ARE A MAJOR REASON FOR SUBOPTIMAL GLYCEMIC CONTROL
![Page 32: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Challenge your knowledge – Bolus Timing
Question 2: True or False
Optimal glycemic control can be achieved when meal-time insulin is given during or after the meal.
![Page 33: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

When to bolus
Cobry et al. 2010 23 subjects aged 12-30, crossover study with three
treatment arms: Delivering a bolus 20 min prior to meal (PRE) Immediately before the meal 20 minutes after the meal
![Page 35: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Cobry E, et al. Diab Technol & Therapeutics, 2010
Pre-meal vs start of meal vs post-meal bolusing
20 minutes pre-meal significantly better than start of meal or 20 minutes after
![Page 36: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
TiBoDi Study – Scaramuzza et al. 2010
30 pts, T1 DM X 8.07 +/- 4.1 years, 6-20 years of age, on pump therapy
Compared glucose response to a standard meal when bolus was given 15 min before, immediately before or immediately after the meal.
Results: No difference if the bolus is given 15 min or immediately before meal HOWEVER, there is a significant rise when the bolus is administered after the meal, even if the BG was in the hypo range pre-meal.
![Page 37: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
TiBoDi Study – Scaramuzza et al. 2010
If low pre-meal, correct the hypoglycemia, inject the bolus, then eat.
When bolus was given 15 min pre-meal, average post meal levels never exceeded 7.8 mmol/L. 15 min pre-meal bolus best option because it is
associated with smallest standard deviation (SD).
![Page 38: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Bottom Line
NO STUDIES FAVOUR POST-MEAL BOLUSING*
If uncertain of the quantity to be eaten: give correction + grams carb likely to eat i.e. 20 g for child, 40 g for adolescent or adult
The higher the pre-meal BG, the earlier the bolus should be given.
Timing is important.

Challenge your knowledge
Question 3: True or False
Although carbohydrate is the primary stimulus for insulin secretion, it is not the only one.
![Page 40: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Protein
Many people eat double the recommended amounts for protein
How protein impacts blood glucose is controversial
BG effect difficult to predict Up to 50-60% can be converted to glucose (TAG theory)
Common to see rise in BG 3-5 hours later, after significantly larger than normal portions are consumed.

In people without diabetes: Protein ingestion stimulates the endogenous
production of both insulin and glucagon In people with type 1 diabetes:
No endogenous insulin production Production of endogenous glucagon Protein causes a slow rise in BG; 3-5 hours after
eating Occurs after the peak of rapid-acting insulin analogs Cannot be included in meal bolus

Answer:
30 g of CHO/10 g per unit = 3.0 units
3 FPU ≈ “30 g carb equivalents” = 3.0 units
Hot Dog Example
![Page 47: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Answer:
30 g of CHO/10 g per unit = 3.0 units
3 FPU ≈ “30 g carb equivalents” = 3.0 units
Therefore, 3 units as a normal bolus and 3 units extended over 5 hours

Wolpert et al (2013):
High fat dinner required more insulin than low fat dinner (12.6 vs. 9.0 units) (ICR 1:9 vs 1:13) Still more hyperglycemia vs. low fat dinner
No hypoglycemia These findings highlight limitations of carb
counting method.

Wolpert et al (2013):
HF dinner increased mean insulin requirement 42%
Marked inter-individual responses (-17% to 108%) ?differences in FFA concentrations, gastric emptying rates, glucagon, incretins Therefore need food records and must evaluate
based on a case by case basis. Dietary fat intake is an IMPORTANT consideration

Smart CE et al. Results Fat and Protein
HP and HF significantly higher 180-300 min than LP/LF meal. This late effect was increased and sustained with
HP/HF meal. HF meal alone reduced glycemic excursion first 90
minutes (likely due to delayed gastric emptying) However addition of protein prevented this
(suggesting that protein may have a protective effect in early pp hypoglycemia)
![Page 58: Beyond Carbohydrate Counting: What Else Matters? Lorraine Anderson RD, CDE Senior Clinical Manager, Animas Canada 2015 CWD Friends for Life Canada Conference.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfb91a28abf838c9f99f/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Smart CE et al. Conclusions
Cause of late, sustained hyperglycemia with HP/HF has been postulated but is currently unknown. Protein may lead to delayed hyperglycemia by gluconeogenesis and ↑
glucagon secretion. Fat FFA impair insulin sensitivity and enhancement of hepatic
glucose production, also delayed gastric emptying
HP/HF (40 g pro, 35g fat) are commonly consumed. Hyperglycemia 3-5 hours after the meal dual/combo Most important with evening meal as potential for prolonged
hyperglycemia vs daytime when awake to correct.

Smart CE et al. Conclusions
Other studies suggest normal bolus for CHO and square wave bolus of supplemental insulin for fat and protein Reduced postprandial hyperglycemia however the
rate of hypoglycemia using this method is unacceptably high (33-35%).
So need further research for appropriate algorithm.

What are we aiming for?
“In all the work with diabetes technology I’ve done, I’ve worn CGM for long periods of time. I don’t have diabetes, but I’ll eat a dessert and go up to 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/L). I’ll also drop down to 50 (2.8 mmol/L) or 60 mg/dl (3.3 mmol/L). People with diabetes are comparing themselves to a false standard. The pancreas, for all of the advantages it has, still allows big excursions. It’s crazy to think it’s ideal.”
-Dr. Steven Russell (Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA) urging people with diabetes not to be too hard on themselves at the 14th
North American Conference on Diabetes and Exercise in San Diego, CA, August 17-18.
