Nutrition and Feeding
Type 1 Diabetes Nutrition Counseling
Evidence based nutrition guidance for children and teens living with Type 1 diabetes, built around your family.
Nutrition is an important part of life with Type 1 diabetes. It supports healthy growth, helps families understand how food affects blood glucose, and makes everyday food choices feel more manageable.
At Grow, we work with children and families to build practical nutrition skills and confidence in managing Type 1 diabetes, from everyday meals and snacks to school, celebrations, and activities.
We support families with:
- Understanding carbohydrates and carbohydrate counting
- Meal planning and balanced snacks
- Understanding how different foods affect blood glucose
- Matching meals and snacks with the child's diabetes management plan
- Nutrition around physical activity and sports
- Managing food choices at school, celebrations, and eating out
- Supporting healthy growth and development
- Building a positive relationship with food while living with Type 1 diabetes
- Helping children and parents develop confidence and independence over time
