Children with Type 1 Diabetes face greater risks of disordered eating, potentially endangering their health. Researchers developed the PRIORITY intervention aimed at educating parents on fostering healthy eating habits in their children. The program included two online workshops where parents learned effective communication about food and diabetes management. Early results indicate that this intervention is feasible and well-received by parents, leading to improvements in children's eating behaviours at a three-month follow-up. Rigorous clinical trials are needed to establish the long-term effectiveness and cost implications of this intervention.
"Research shows that children with Type 1 Diabetes are more likely to develop problems like eating too little, overeating, or skipping insulin on purpose, which can be dangerous."
"PRIORITY, a brief intervention, teaches parents how to support their children in building healthy eating habits, which is crucial for managing diabetes effectively."
