Food forms an integral part of diabetes management. As children mature into young adults, they must learn to adopt lifestyle behaviours critical for optimal diabetes care. The development of food preparation and cooking skills at a young age may help to facilitate healthy food choices in children and provide a solid foundation for young adulthood. Food skills workshops are effective interventions that have been shown to improve food literacy and healthy eating in the general pediatric population. However, food skills programs have not been adequately evaluated in children with type 1 diabetes. Further, virtual programs are not well assessed, which can increase the accessibility of food education during the pandemic and in the future.
