Phipps Conservatory's 5210 Let's Move Pittsburgh and Impact on Youth With T1D
Managing T1D requires a demanding regimen to keep blood sugars in control and stay healthy. Despite recent advances, this remains extremely challenging for children and their families, who usually report having the most difficulty with the healthy eating aspect of the management, sometimes more so than having to administer insulin or monitor sugar levels. In addition to high sugars, the rise in obesity in the last decades has contributed to the risk of long-term complications of T1D such as cardiovascular disease and renal failure.
More than a third of youngsters with T1D are now overweight which makes the management of T1D much more challenging. The problem of obesity is much greater in the socially and economically disadvantaged groups as healthy eating is considered expensive. To educate kids with T1D and their families on healthy eating on a reasonable budget, in partnership with Phipps Conservatory's 5210 Let's Move Pittsburgh program, the investigators initiated virtual cooking classes during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This proposal's objective is to start to evaluate the potential medical benefits as the investigators expand this program.
The investigators expect the children who participate will show improvement in diabetes control, favorable decrease or maintenance of their weight and BMI when compared to their pre-intervention visit and to the control group, and improved knowledge about nutrition and healthy food choices when comparing pre- and post-intervention assessments.

Managing T1D requires a demanding regimen to keep blood sugars in control and stay healthy. Despite recent advances, this remains extremely challenging for children and their families, who usually report having the most difficulty with the healthy eating aspect of the management, sometimes more so than having to administer insulin or monitor sugar levels. In addition to high sugars, the rise in obesity in the last decades has contributed to the risk of long-term complications of T1D such as cardiovascular disease and renal failure.
More than a third of youngsters with T1D are now overweight which makes the management of T1D much more challenging. The problem of obesity is much greater in the socially and economically disadvantaged groups as healthy eating is considered expensive. To educate kids with T1D and their families on healthy eating on a reasonable budget, in partnership with Phipps Conservatory's 5210 Let's Move Pittsburgh program, the investigators initiated virtual cooking classes during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The program included 25 adolescents (11-16 years of age) with T1D, 20% Black or biracial and ~30% with socio-economic disadvantage.
This proposal's objective is to start to evaluate the potential medical benefits as the investigators expand this program. Youth with T1D (12 to 17 years of age) who are also overweight (body mass index (BMI) > 85th percentile)will be invited to participate and enroll.
The program will consist of two classes monthly (virtual) for three months (in addition to their routine diabetes care). A total of 60 children will be enrolled (20 per cohort) and "matched" to an equal number of youth from the pediatric diabetes clinic at UPMC CHP who will not participate in the program and will serve as controls. Pre- and post-program assessments will be conducted to include metrics of glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and continuous glucose monitor (CGM) parameters), clinical parameters such as weight and BMI, measurements of lipids, questionnaires on dietary knowledge, and quantity and quality of food consumption based on food logs.
The investigators expect the children who participate will show improvement in diabetes control, favorable decrease or maintenance of their weight and BMI when compared to their pre-intervention visit and to the control group, and improved knowledge about nutrition and healthy food choices when comparing pre- and postintervention assessments.
The aim of this study is to determine whether participation in an innovative community-based nutritional education program in addition to routine care (intervention group) improves glycemic control as assessed by change in HbA1c (primary outcome) as well as change in weight, BMI, and diabetes-related dietary knowledge (secondary outcomes) in youth 12 to 17 years old with T1D.
The investigators hypothesize that those participating in this program will have decrease in HbA1c and decrease or maintenance of BMI following the intervention. Furthermore, these changes will not be seen in the control group. Those in the intervention group will also experience increased dietary knowledge/food choices after undergoing the intervention when comparing pre- and post-assessments. In addition, for those who use CGMS, (Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems), the investigators will also evaluate the impact of the intervention on CGM parameters.
