Vey Low-Energy Ketogenic Therapy in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes and Obesity on Intensive Insulin Therapy Using Advanded Hybrid Closed Loop System

Participants will follow a Very Low-Energy Ketogenic Therapy (VLEKT) providing 600-800 kcal/day for 4 weeks. The intervention consists of meal replacements (solid or liquid, ready-to-use or reconstituted) with very low carbohydrate content, high-quality proteins (milk, whey, pea, soy), and fiber (inulin, FOS). Gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan options are available. Meal replacements are provided by Therascience or Penta at discounted prices. Participants will self-monitor capillary ketonemia daily, maintain adequate hydration, and avoid intense physical exercise. The Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) insulin delivery system will be used throughout the study with periodic adjustments based on device downloads. At the end of the 4-week intervention, a structured reintroduction of conventional meals will be initiated.
