The study aims to elucidate whether patients with T1D initiating sensor monitoring experience greater improvement in glycemic control (HbA1c) when provided with structured nutrition education compared to those initiating sensor monitoring without such education.
Education on carbohydrate counting and flexible insulin dosing improves glycemic control, which is also enhanced by glucose sensor usage. However, the combined effect of structured education and the initiation of sensor monitoring remains unclear.
