Evaluating behavioral goals for eating timing, frequency, and distribution of daily carbohydrate consumption among youth with type 1 diabetes (MyPlan): A single arm pilot and feasibility study
Authors' conclusion
Findings suggest feasibility of MyPlan and potential type 1 diabetes management benefits for adolescents with sub-optimal HbA1c, warranting progression to a trial to evaluate effectiveness.
