This study is looking at whether providing special meals can help children and teenagers with Type 1 Diabetes. It's called "Food is Medicine in Pediatric Patients With Diabetes." Participants will receive 10 medically-tailored meals per week from Community Servings for 6 months. They will also get standard nutrition counseling from a registered dietitian. The study aims to see if these meals improve health outcomes related to nutrition and diabetes, and also improve their quality of life. We are looking for about 50 children and teenagers, aged 5 to 17, who have Type 1 Diabetes, are current patients at UMMMC Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic, have had diabetes for at least 3 months, and have public health insurance. The study will measure these improvements over 12 months. The current status of the study is unclear.
