T1DM: Diet Quality (2023)

• Intervention
  In children and adolescents (6- 19 years old) living with type 1 diabetes, what is the effect of higher diet quality scores compared to lower diet quality scores on glycemic outcomes?

  • Conclusion

    In children and adolescents (6-19 years old) living with type 1 diabetes, improvements in diet quality [from an average Healthy Eating Index (HEI) score of 55/100 to a score of 65/100] were associated with better glycemic outcomes.

  • Grade: Very Low (D)

    • Grade II is Fair;
    • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
    • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
    • Grade V is Not Assignable.
    • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
    • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
    • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
    • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
    • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
