A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to compare the effects of a low carbohydrate diet versus a Mediterranean diet on glycemic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two diet groups and will receive dietary education and support throughout the six-month study period. The trial will assess various health metrics, including blood sugar levels, lipid profiles, and microbiome changes, while also evaluating the safety and adherence to the diets. Blood work and stool samples will be collected at multiple points to monitor health outcomes.
