Change in daily servings of vegetables	Daily vegetable intake assessed via 3, 24-hour dietary recalls collected electronically using the Automated Self-Assessment 24-hour (ASA-24) dietary assessment tool	Baseline/pretest, 3 months/posttest
Change in daily servings of whole grains	Daily whole grain intake assessed via 3, 24-hour dietary recalls collected electronically using the Automated Self-Assessment 24-hour (ASA-24) dietary assessment tool	Baseline/pretest, 3 months/posttest
Change in daily servings of sugar-sweetened beverages	Daily sugar-sweetened beverage intake assessed via 3, 24-hour dietary recalls collected electronically using the Automated Self-Assessment 24-hour (ASA-24) dietary assessment tool	Baseline/pretest, 3 months/posttest
Change in daily total caloric intake	Daily caloric intake assessed via 3, 24-hour dietary recalls collected electronically using the Automated Self-Assessment 24-hour (ASA-24) dietary assessment tool	Baseline/pretest, 3 months/posttest
Change in primary caregiver body mass index (kg/m2)	Assessment of weight status using calibrated stadiometer and electronic scale.	Baseline/pretest, 3 months/posttest
Change in child body mass index z-score	Assessment of weight status using calibrated stadiometer and electronic scale.	Baseline/pretest, 3 months/posttest
Change in child blood pressure z-score	Includes systolic and diastolic blood pressure z-scores	Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months
Change in child food preparation attitude, self-efficacy and frequency of involvement	Scale 0-132 (higher score indicates more positive attitude, higher self-efficacy, greater frequency of involvement)	Baseline/pretest, 3 months/posttest
Change in child adherence to TIDM management regimen score	Assessed via Diabetes Management Questionnaire - Scale of 14-70 (higher score indicating greater adherence to management regimen)	Baseline/pretest, 3 months/posttest
Change in child quality of life score	Assessed via Diabetes Quality of Life for Youth questionnaire - Scale of 41-205 (higher score indicating better quality of life)	Baseline/pretest, 3 months/posttest
Change in primary caregiver self-efficacy for diabetes management score	Assessed via Maternal Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Management Scale - Scale of 8-40 (higher score indicating greater self-efficacy for diabetes management)	Baseline/pretest, 3 months/posttest
Change in primary caregiver self-efficacy for healthy meal planning and eating score	Assessed via Parent Mealtime Self-Efficacy Questionnaire - Scale of 11-55 (higher score indicating greater self-efficacy for healthy meal planning and eating)	Baseline/pretest, 3 months/posttest
