OBJECTIVE—To investigate the association between dietary adherence and glycemic control among youth with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 119 youth aged 9–14 years (mean ± SD 12.1 ± 1.6 years) with diabetes duration 1 year (5.4 ± 3.1 years). Dietary adherence was assessed using the Diabetes Self-Management Profile diet domain. Higher score defined greater dietary adherence. Glycemic control was determined by A1C.

RESULTS—Dietary adherence score was inversely correlated with A1C (r = –0.36, P < 0.0001)
