Unhealthy eating habits are associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and increased insulin resistance in young patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and may impact the possible benefit from dietary interventions on glycaemic control. This study determines how nutritional patterns influence the quality of dietary intervention with a 30% or 50% carbohydrate diet in terms of glycaemic control measured with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Eating habits were obtained with a frequency-of-consumption questionnaire (FFQ-6) before the diet assessment. Altogether, we collected CGM and FFQ-6 data from 30 children (16 boys and 14 girls aged 10–17 years) with T1DM subjected to two consecutive 3-day nutritional plans. From these, 23 patients met the CGM data quality criteria for further analysis. Furthermore, high accuracy achieved in training (95.65%) and V-fold cross-validation (81.67%) suggest a significant impact of food habits in response to introduced nutritional changes. Patients who consumed more vegetables or grains (>4 times per day), more wheat products (>once per day), fewer fats (<1.5 times per day), and ranked fruit juice as the most common selection in the drinks category achieved glycaemic control more often after the introduction of a 30% carbohydrate diet, as opposed to those with different dietary patterns, whose glycaemic control was negatively impacted after switching to this diet. Additionally, the 50% carbohydrate diet was safe for all patients in the context of glycaemic control.
