METHODS: Dietary assessmentconducted for 75 children with T1D of duration > 1-year.

RESULTS: Adherence to the recommendations was observed in 40% of participants. Mean (SD) % calorie intake from carbohydrate, fat and protein was 51.93 (6.08), 32.42 (5.66) and 15.95 (2.45), respectively. 68% participants had an energy deficit of >10% of the estimated average requirement. Children in "Adherent" group had significantly lower energy intake from carbohydrates [50.26 (2.11) % vs. 53.18(7.39) %], saturated fats (<10%) and higher from proteins [16.74 (1.68) % vs. 15.42 (2.75) %] as compared to "Non-adherent" group (p <0.05). The mean (SD) HbA1c (%) was significantly lower in the "Adherent" group [7.5 (0.50) vs 9.17 (1.12)].

CONCLUSION: Diet inlarge proportion of Indian children with T1D doesn't meetthe ISPAD recommendations.
