Researchers at The University of Queensland will progress toward a trial to see if a specialised dietary fibre supplement is safe for use in children with type 1 diabetes after positive results in adults. With the increase of type I diabetes in the last 50 years, growing evidence is showing that changes in gut bacteria may hold a secret to the triggering of the disease. By targeting the gut microbiome with specialised dietary fibre supplements, researchers hope to see a low-cost approach to prevention and glucose management. | https://medicine.uq.edu.au/article/2021/07/diabetes-research-challenging-paramount
