Abstract
Objectives: Reaching optimal postprandial glucose dynamics is a daily challenge for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study aimed to analyze the postprandial hyperglycemic excursion (PHEs) and late postprandial hypoglycemia (LPH) risk according to prandial insulin time and type. Research Design and Methods: Real-world, retrospective study in T1D using multiple daily injections (MDI) analyzing 5 h of paired continuous glucose monitoring and insulin injections data collected from the connected cap Insulclock®. Meal events were identified using the rate of change detection methodology. Postprandial glucometrics and LPH (glucose <70 mg/dL 2-5 h after a meal) were evaluated according to insulin injection time and rapid (RI) or ultrarapid analog, Fiasp® (URI), use. Results: Meal glycemic excursions (n = 2488), RI: 1211, 48.7%; UR: 1277, 51.3%, in 82 people were analyzed according to injection time around the PHE: -45 to -15 min; -15 to 0 min; and 0 to +45 min. In 63% of the meals, insulin was injected after the PHE started. Lower PHE was observed with URI versus RI (glucose peak-baseline; mg/dL; mean ± standard deviation): 106.7 ± 35.2 versus 111.2 ± 40.3 (P = 0.003), particularly in 0/+45 injections: 111.6 ± 40.2 versus 118.1 ± 43.3; (P = 0.002). One third (29.1%) of participants added a second (correction) injection. The use of URI and avoiding a second injection were independently associated with less LPH risk, even in delayed injections (0/+45), (-36%, odds ratio [OR] 0.641; confidence interval [CI]: 0.462-0.909; P = 0.012) and -56% (OR 0.641; CI: 0.462-0.909 P = 0.038), respectively. Conclusions: URI analog use as prandial insulin reduces postprandial hyper- and hypoglycemia, even in delayed injections.

Abstract
With a rise in obesity and more patients opting for bariatric surgery, it becomes crucial to understand associated complications like postprandial hypoglycemia (PPH). After bariatric surgery, significant changes are seen in insulin sensitivity, beta cell function, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels, the gut microbiome, and bile acid metabolism. And in a small subset of patients, exaggerated imbalances in these functional and metabolic processes lead to insulin-glucose mismatch and hypoglycemia. The main treatment for PPH involves dietary modifications. For those that do not respond, medications or surgical interventions are considered to reverse some of the imbalances. We present a few case reports of patients that safely tolerated GLP-1 agonists. However, larger randomized control trials are needed to further characterize PPH and understand its treatment.
