Summary
This early-phase study tested whether a colon-targeted butyrate tablet (BKR-017) could help people with type 1 diabetes improve insulin sensitivity and lower triglycerides. Six adults with type 1 diabetes took the tablets for 28 days alongside their usual care. The goal was to see if this supplement could be a helpful add-on therapy, not a replacement for insulin.
