Inclusion Criteria:
Children aged between 1 and 17 years old; diagnosis of type 1 diabetes > 1 year before study entry;
treatment with an insulin pump for at least 6 months; HbA1C was < 9%; patients were not in the remission phase, defined as < 0.5 U insulin/kg/24 h; used a bolus calculator; naive of carbohydrate counting.
Exclusion Criteria:
Previously practiced ACC (advanced carbohydrate counting); in real time or intermittently scanned glucose monitoring.
Research Purpose:
Our aim was to determine whether ACC (advanced carbohydrate counting) would improve HbA1C and QOL (quality of living) scores as compared with standard nutrition in children with Type 1 diabetes.
Blinding efforts:
The main outcome was the change in HbA1c, which was not concealed from the patients and physicians.
