Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety of short-term (6 month) low or very-low carbohydrate diets in prepubertal children 2 to \<12 years old with type 1 diabetes. Participants will be randomized to either low carbohydrate diet (carbohydrate makes up 30-39% of total daily calories) or very-low carbohydrate diet (carbohydrates are 20-29% of total daily calories). The investigators will evaluate metabolic effects of these diets by measuring the counter-regulatory hormone response to hypoglycemia at baseline and again at 3 months. Other outcomes include diabetes control as measured by HbA1c, growth and weight gain, lipid profiles, and body composition.
