Carbohydrate knowledge, lifestyle and insulin: an observational study of their association with glycaemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes

Abstract

The present study identified that consistency in taking insulin and confidence in self-management was associated with better glycaemic control. An association was also found between recent dietary review and better carbohydrate knowledge, although this did not translate into better glycaemic control. Future investigation into the application of carbohydrate knowledge is required.
