The aim of this clinical study is to investigate and compare the postprandial glycemic response to three different meal types rich in carbohydrates, that is, white pasta, high protein pasta and white rice consumed by individuals with T1DM and to demonstrate that:~The choice of carbohydrates consumed significantly affects the postprandial glycemic profile in people with type 1 diabetes and~The consumption of high protein pasta will present a tighter postprandial glycemic response.~Previous studies have evaluated the effect of white pasta and rice on postprandial glycemic response in people with type 1 diabetes. With this study, we aim to expand upon these findings by ensuring that the results can still be applied to more recent commercial food products (pasta, rice), but especially to evaluate the effect of high-protein pasta when compared to regularly consumed carbohydrates (white pasta, white rice).~After consuming the study meal, subjects will participate in an education session (a 2 hour class per each meal challenge session). Classes will be taught by a registered dietician and diabetes & exercise expert and, as appropriate, a culinary instructor.
