The key to successful MNT is synchronizing carbohydrate intake with insulin therapy. The use of basal-bolus insulin therapy using insulin analogs or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in conjunction with carbohydrate counting is the most physiologic treatment and provides the greatest flexibility in terms of food choices and timing of meals. For patients unable or unwilling to count carbohydrates, basal-bolus therapy using a consistent carbohydrate meal plan can be equally effective. Considering the glycemic index and the glycemic load of foods is another tool that can be used to optimally time the mealtime insulin injection.
