What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a person-centred nutritional education program promoting a healthy, sustainable Nordic diet compared with the usual practice of providing brief dietary information for adults with Type 1 diabetes. This study aims to understand how this education affects blood glucose control, blood lipids, blood pressure, and adherence to the Nordic diet over six months. The main question is whether this personalized education improves glucose time in range better than short dietary advice. Participants in the intervention group will have a one-on-one meeting with a registered dietitian to discuss their preferences and develop a personalized health plan focused on the Nordic diet. This plan will be reviewed and updated twice during the study, supported by monthly text reminders. Those in the control group will receive a standard brochure with short dietary information. Both groups will be followed for six months. Throughout the study, participants will wear a continuous glucose monitoring sensor to track blood glucose levels. They will visit the clinic at the start and end of the trial for blood samples and clinical checks. Participants will also complete a four-day food diary, a food frequency questionnaire, and rate their food enjoyment at the beginning and conclusion of the study. The primary outcome measured is the percentage of time blood glucose is within the target range during weeks 1, 12, and 24.
