However, with the adventof the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for social distancing, CC adhering and nutritional follow-up may have been affected. Objective: To evaluate the association between nutritionalfollow-up and carbohydrate count by adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus during the Covid- 19 pandemic in Brazil.

Results: 3% of the participants suspended the practice of CC during the period of social isolation. 37.7% reported doing CC at the same frequency as before social distancing and 20.13% reported doing CC more frequently than before distancing (p<0.000).
