Read our Type 1 Diabetes research guide →This study is testing a procedure called washed microbiota transplantation as a potential new treatment for type 1 diabetes. Researchers believe that restoring healthy bacteria in your digestive system might help your body better manage blood sugar levels and reduce how much insulin you need. The trial will track your blood sugar patterns, insulin use, and overall health before and after the treatment.
Type 1 diabetes requires daily insulin injections and careful monitoring, and many people struggle to keep their blood sugar stable. This trial exists because early research suggests that the bacteria in your gut may play a role in how your immune system and metabolism work, and restoring a healthy bacterial balance might help improve diabetes control.

You would receive the washed microbiota transplantation procedure, then enter a follow-up period where the research team monitors your health and diabetes management. During this time, they will collect information about your blood sugar patterns, daily insulin doses, and any changes in your condition. The study involves at least 20 participants and will evaluate both the safety of the treatment and whether it actually helps control your diabetes.
