Microbiome in the Acute Stage of New Onset Paediatric Type 1 Diabetes
Sponsor: University College Cork
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn more about the microbiome and metabolome of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do the microbiome and metabolome play a role in the onset and presentation of T1D? 2. How do the microbiome and metabolome evolve during the early stages of T1D? 3. Are there are differences in the microbiome or metabolome of children who present with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) versus those who present without DKA, and between those who present with mild, moderate or severe DKA? 4. Is there an association between the microbiome or metabolome and glycaemic control during the first year of diagnosis? 5. Is there an association between the microbiome or metabolome and beta cell reserve after one year of T1D disease?
