Key finding
The baseline-adjusted difference in TIR between SNAQ and control was 6.6 percentage points in favour of SNAQ (95% CI 2.9 to 10.3, P < 0.001).
The study evaluated the impact of the SNAQ meal analysis app on glucose control in adults with type 1 diabetes using automated insulin delivery (AID) systems.

Study focus
The study evaluated the impact of the SNAQ meal analysis app on glucose control in adults with type 1 diabetes using automated insulin delivery (AID) systems.
Improving glucose control is crucial for individuals with type 1 diabetes to reduce the risk of complications. The SNAQ app offers a promising tool for managing meal intake and insulin delivery, potentially enhancing patient outcomes. Understanding its short-term benefits can help clinicians recommend effective digital solutions for diabetes management.
Glycaemic benefits were not sustained after discontinuation of the app. No significant differences in total daily insulin dose or bolus frequency. The study may have limited generalizability due to specific population characteristics.

SNAQ improved percentage time in range by 6.6 percentage points (P < 0.001).
Mean glucose levels decreased by 0.54 mmol/L (P = 0.004).
Time above range decreased by 6.3% (P = 0.001).
