The current proposal shifts the investigators' prior interventions' focus away from parental stress and instead highlights behavioral strategies promoting healthy eating and engagement in consistent physical activity, as well as nutrition and physical activity links to glycemic control. Based upon positive preliminary data the investigators will utilize novel assessment (accelerometry, personal activity monitors (PAM), and continuous glucose monitors (CGM)) and intervention components (parent consultants and trained intervention telephone counselors), with the intervention being delivered via telephone and in-person. The investigators will follow an iterative mixed methods approach to refine the intervention from Phase 1 to Phase 2. During phase 1 the investigators will pre-pilot the intervention by examining feasibility and acceptability in 10 parents (of children ages 1-5 yrs with a minimum of 1 yr duration of diabetes). The investigators will use qualitative interviews, questionnaire, and objective (CGM, accelerometry) data to help refine key intervention components and discern best areas for intervention target (i.e., low glycemic breakfast or different meal; planned physical activity or increasing steps through daily living; PAM or accelerometry). This phase will include soliciting feedback from the advisory board leading to further refinement of the intervention and manual of procedures. During phase 2 the investigators will execute a pilot randomized trial evaluating whether glycemic control and developmentally-important outcomes (child feeding and physical activity) in young children with T1D can be favorably impacted. Phase 2 will include 60 parents (of children ages 1-5 yrs) randomly allocated to either the intervention (n=30) or standard care (n=30). Assessments will be completed 3 times (T1, T2-immediately post intervention, and T3-6 months post-intervention). Clinical, biological, and behavioral diabetes outcomes will be measured. Specific Aims for this trial are:
