Supporting Meal Management in Type 1 Diabetes

NCT05671679 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 44

Summary

Carbohydrate count marks the cornerstone of Type 1 Diabetes management. Eventhough it is a crucial task, it is burdensome and prone to error. Therefore, the investigators want to explore the effect that SNAQ, a food analyser app would have in glycaemic control by facilitating the task of carbohydrate estimation.

SNAQ app

SNAQ is a smartphone food analysis app that estimates the macronutrient content of a meal, based on a single image. The app first determines meal content in terms of food components with input from the user to correct or add further components (e.g. foods, ingredients, sauces, herbs or seasonings). Then, the total macronutrient and energy content of the meal is determined based on the estimated volume and information from a nutritional database. Of note, the application also allows for assessing nutritional content of packaged foods by means of a barcode scanning function. The user can always adapt proposed nutritional contents at their own discretion. Meal macronutrients alongside the food pictures are collected in a detailed log which allows users to review their dietary choices. The product is not conceived by its manufacturer to be used for medical purposes and can thus not be considered a medical device.

OTHER

Traditional carbohydrate counting

Patients will follow their traditional methods of carbohydrate counting during the control period. In addition to assess sustainability of the intervention, following the control period, the control group will also go an intervention period of 3 weeks using the SNAQ App.
