Summary

This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement can reduce inflammation in children and teens newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Researchers believe that changes in gut bacteria may worsen the disease. Participants take either the probiotic or a placebo for several months, and the study measures immune system activity and insulin-producing cell health. The goal is to see if probiotics can help slow the disease's progression.
