Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Newly diagnosed ( 0.2 mmol/l and/or >1.2 ng/mL after MMT), male/females, will be recruited by poster advertisement.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Subjects with diagnosis or symptoms of another autoimmune disease (eg hypo- or hyperthyroidism, coeliakie, rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn/Colitis Ulcerosa) are not able to participate. Smoking, (expected) prolonged compromised immunity (due to recent cytotoxic chemotherapy or HIV infection with a CD4 count < 240) as well as antibiotics use in the last 3 months and PPI use is seen as an exclusion criterium.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Preservation of residual betacell insulin secretion capacity/beta cell function as assessed by mixed meal test (MMT) at 0, 6 and 12 months. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Immunologic parameters: Changes in immunology based on FACS of periferal leukocyte subsets (changes in Tr1/nTreg/Th2/ Th17/NKT/TCRγδ subsets, islet autoimmunity (CD4 and CD8) ) in relation to mucosa innate en adaptive immunity (CCR4, CXCR3,CXCL10) as well as plasma markers of autoimmunity ( antiGAD/IA2/c-peptide plasma concentrations) at 0, 2, 6, 9 and 12 months; 2. Intestinal microbiota: Changes in small intestinal (at baseline and 6 months) and fecal gut microbiota composition at 0, 2, 6, 9 and 12 months; 3. Glycemic control: Changes in plasma biochemistry (HbA1c),urine (microalbuminuria) and subsequent exogenous insulin dose use at 0, 2, 6, 9 and 12 months; 4. Intestinal epithelial integrity: Changes in small intestinal epithelial genes (ILLUMINA array) at baseline and 6 months. | — |
