About this trial

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of nutritional intervention program based on dietary products in the clinical treatment of newly diagnosed children with type 1 diabetes. The main question aims to answer is: whether high fiber diet can protect beta-cell function in children with newly onset type 1 diabetes.

Participants will take 12 weeks of high fiber diet intervention and beta-cell function and gut microbiota structure will be analyzed.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The 2h C-peptide level of the MMTT test

The 2-hour postprandial C-peptide is detected by the mix meal test. The C peptide level is measured using a sensitive, luminescence immunoassay, accurate to 0.01 ng/ml.

Time frame
0 week and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Glycosylated hemoglobin level

The levels of glycosylated hemoglobin is detection by high performance liquid chromatography. Accurate to 0.1%.

Time frame
0 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks
2

Glycated albumin level

The levels of glycated albumin is measured by IMMULITE, accurate to 0.1%.

Time frame
0 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks
3

Fasting C peptide

The level of fasting C peptide is measured using a sensitive, luminescence immunoassay, accurate to 0.01 ng/ml.

Time frame
0 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks
4

Daily insulin dosage

The daily insulin dosage used per kilogram of body weight. IU/kg/d
