Summary

This study tests whether a probiotic called Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v can reduce inflammation and help preserve the body's ability to produce insulin in people recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. About 60 participants aged 3 to 45 will take the probiotic or a placebo for 6 months. The goal is to see if this approach can slow the decline of beta cell function, which is key to managing the disease.
