Diabetes Intervention Involving Person-centred Nutritional Education

Summary

The overall objective for this project is to evaluate the effects of a person-centred education intervention to promote a healthy, sustainable Nordic diet compared with the current practice of providing short dietary information on health outcomes of adults with Type 1 diabetes. The study will measure the intervention's impact on blood glucose levels, blood lipids, blood pressure, and adherence to a sustainable and healthy Nordic diet. The main question the trial aims to answer is: Does a person-centred nutritional education have an impact on glucose time in range for adults with Type 1 diabetes, compared with short dietary information? The participants will: * Attend either a person-centred nutrition education (intervention) or receive short dietary information (control group). * Wear their sensor for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) throughout the trial. * Visit the clinic for data collection (blood samples and clinical checks) at the start and end of the trial. * Keep a four-day food diary, fill out a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and estimate their food enjoyment at the start and end of the trial.
