First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether changing the types of carbohydrates people with type 1 diabetes eat can improve blood sugar control. Researchers will compare a diet with more whole grains and beans to one with mostly refined grains. 80 adults will be monitored to see if the diverse carb diet leads to more time with blood sugar in a healthy range.
