%X Aims: To evaluate the impact on glycemic control and quality of life of a bolus calculator.Methods: Multicentre randomized prospective crosssectional study. Patients were randomized to control phase (3 months; calculation of prandial insulin according to insulinto-carbohydrate ratio and insulin sensitivity factor using a single strip meter) or intervention phase (3 months; calculation of prandial insulin with a bolus advisor), with a washout period (3 months). Patients wore a continuous glucosensor (7days) and answered a quality of life questionnaire at the beginning and at the end of each phase. A questionnaire ofsatisfaction was obtained at the end of both phases. Inclusion criteria: Adults; T1DM> 1 year, HbA1c > 7.5%, basal-bolus therapy with insulin analogs, experience with carbohydrateResults: Data from the first 32 subjects with at least 1 ended phase (27 females, age 38 – 11 years, diabetes duration 16.8 – 7.5 years).Basal characteristics were comparable independently of the starting phase. No differences were found between phases interms of mean blood glucose, standard deviation (from meter neither from sensor) and satisfaction.Conclusions: The use of a bolus calculator improves glycemic control and quality of life of T1DM subjects.
