Abstract

Aims To identify dietary intake and eating patterns of people with type 1 diabetes from childhood to later adulthood in relation to HbA1c.Methods Trained interviewers conducted 24-hour recalls via phone utilizing a multiple pass approach and administered two nutrition questionnaires; 463 participants (or parents of participants) within the T1D Exchange clinic registry were included. Participants were 5 to 81 years with 80-101 participants in five age groups; 56% were female, and 92% were white, with a median diabetes duration of 11.1 years and a median HbA1c of 7.4% [57 mmol/mol]).Results Those with type 1 diabetes consumed less calories from carbohydrates and more from fats and protein than those in the general population, based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. Carbohydrate intake was not correlated with HbA 1c levels. Increased fiber intake, more eating occasions, higher Healthy Eating Index scores, and higher nutrition knowledge scores were each associated with lower HbA1c levels.Conclusions Food intake, eating patterns and nutrition knowledge are associated with glycemic control across a registry-based cohort of adults and children with type 1 diabetes. Additionally, these data can inform the design of future studies to advance our understanding of nutritional influences on type 1 diabetes self-care and control.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
