Brief Summary:

To determine whether insulin glulisine decreases the breakfast post prandial glycemic excursion in comparison to insulin aspart.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus	Drug: insulin glulisine; Drug: insulin aspart	Phase 4

Detailed Description:

This is a treatment, open label, crossover study comparing two and four hour breakfast post prandial blood glucose levels after receiving a dose of insulin glulisine or insulin aspart administered subcutaneously and consuming the breakfast meal from a prescribed menu containing 45, 60 or 75 grams of carbohydrate. Each subject will receive insulin glulisine for ten days and insulin aspart for ten days.
